Way back in the beginning

Ain't that strange? It's a mystery

Just another twenty-four in the three-sixty-five

Twenty-four-seven glad to be alive

All I need is a motor in my car

Crank it up, hit the road

Be a country star

I was raised by alligators

In the Pearl River swamp

Started out dancing on a boogie-woogie stump

Fish said "Boys, smoke 'em if ya got 'em"
