I ride half a Harley and I'm half a man My life is in the garbage can And I really hate to be so down But I've been here so long if looks like up to me Mister raise another cup to me And if you pass me going up I'll be hangin' around 'Cause I'm doin' time on planet earth Ever wonder why? Doin' time, since my birth Reachin' for the sky About the only thing that could help me now Is Hank Sr. on the stereo So please do me right and put some on I need to hear the lonesome whistle blow Pole the pirog on the bayou Anything just get me gone 'Cause I'm doin' time on planet earth Ever wonder why? Doin' time, since my birth Reachin' for the sky You can lead a horse to water But that won't make him drink You can tell a man the facts of life But that won't make him think You can live life to the fullest Or die before your prime But there's one thing I'm sure you know We're all just doin' time 'Cause I'm doin' time on planet earth Ever wonder why? Doin' time, since my birth Reachin' for the sky
