Well,
I can't afford no rib-eye,
so I've been living on pork and beans
Bought a pint of Evan Williams,
cause it's cheaper than Jim Beam
Can't afford to pay attention,
been on the wrong horse again
Been running since the day I was born,
just to wind up where I've been
And I'm broke and I'm busted,
barely getting by
But I'm gonna live forever,
cause I can't afford to die
Well,
my Uncle Ray,
he passed on a year ago last May
A casket cost a whole lot more than a brand new Chevrolet
That three-by-nine,
six-foot hole was a union job,
I guess
Insurance paid for the funeral home,
and them boys,
they got the rest
And I'm broke and I'm busted,
barely getting by
But I'm gonna live forever,
I just can't afford to die
Well, I had a dream,
the other night, that I had a heart attack
Jumpstarted me with them cables,
the doctor
brought me back He said that I crossed on over to the other
side,
we had to bring you back,
son,
you just can't afford to die
And I'm broke and I'm busted,
and I'm barely getting by
But I'm gonna live forever,
I just can't afford to die
Yeah, I'm gonna live forever,
I just can't afford to die
