Billy Lemmons – Six Packs A Day lyrics

[CHORUS]
It takes six packs a day
To see me through
Six packs a day
To see me through
I don't care if it's
R.J. Reynolds nicotine fits
Or Pabst Blue Ribbon brew
It takes six packs a day
To see me through

When I's a kid
The local folks said
I'd never make a dent
Much less amount to very much
Or be the President

Well, I never said I thought I would
Or really give a rip
As long as I could sit around
And smoke and spit and sip, and

[Repeat CHORUS]

When I's a little older
Well, they sent me off to school
Well, I couldn't get right with it
'Cause I had things to do

Well, I thought I'd make a million
So I could pay the rent
And maybe I might run for Mayor
Or be the President, and

[Repeat CHORUS]

Well, I ran for Mayor
And I didn't make it
And I almost pitched a fit
Then Jimmy went to D.C.
And became the President

Well, I called the boys together
Said, y'all stay in the tub
'Cause I just elected myself the Mayor
Of the Plains, Georgia social club, and

[Repeat CHORUS]

Well, I guess you'd have to call me
A Hee Haw superstar
'Cause I hired me an agent
Who drives a great big car

Well, he's done made me famous
A lot of autographs I've signed
Even people on the C.B.
Know old Leadbelly line for line

Well, there's one thing makes me nervous
'Cause we're trying to compete
When will they change the furnaces
And use peanut oil for heat

And it takes six packs a day
To see me through
Six packs a day
To see me through

I don't care if it's
R.J. Reynolds nicotine fits
Or Pabst Blue Ribbon brew
It takes six packs a day
Six packs a day
Six packs a day
To see me through
