5 lbs. of Possum Lyrics by Steve Pettit

Greener Grass

0

[Verse 1]
My children are hungry
And my dog needs a bone
I ain't got a job now
So I'm just drivin' home
An hour after sundown
And much to my delight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Chorus]
Well there's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
If I can run him over
Ev'rything'll be alright
We'll have some possum gravy
Oh what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Verse 2]
Don't have to kill no chickens
Don't have to open no cans
Just a little bit closer
And I'll have him in my hands
I think the time has come now
To go from dim to bright
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Chorus]
Well there's fivе pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
If I can run him over
Ev'rything'll be alright
Wе'll have some possum gravy
Oh what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Verse 3]
My children are hungry
And my dog needs a bone
I ain't got a job now
So I'm just drivin' home
An hour after sundown
And much to my delight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Chorus]
Well there's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
If I can run him over
Ev'rything'll be alright
We'll have some possum gravy
Oh what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
[Chorus]
Welllllllll there's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
If I can run him over
Ev'rything'll be alright
We'll have some possum gravy
Oh what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
Well there's five pounds of possum
In my headlights toniiiiiiiight
