Some's got little and some's got a lot Me, I ain't never done too hot
I didn't think that I'd survive But I'm still alive and sixty-five
The poor old farmer got his lot to cut And now he's a-sittin' round on his hands
He's as busy as he can be Tryin' to get signed up for that poverty
Nothin' to eat and no car to drive But he's still alive and sixty-five
The poor old pa got some government aid He spent it all on a pretty little maid
He used to stay gone for weeks at a time Well, that gal, she drove him right out of his mind
His eyes are sunk, he ain't got much to drive But he's still alive and sixty-five
I got me a job with the Peace Corps As you know, last year I was lookin' for more
About the peace corps

I got this job, there ain't much I can say Till I get it cleared through LBJ
My first government check just arrived And I'm still alive and sixty-five
Me and my wife got two more kids And finally found out just what we did
Friends, I ain't gonna sit and still Till I get her a bottle of them little pink pills
She didn't think that she'd survive But she's still alive and sixty-five
Bruce Jeff
They got his load of weed Then they booted him out in the street
He always thought he was kinda smart But they shipped him out to unknown parts
He didn't care much for that job But he's still alive and sixty-five
Some's got little and some's got a lot Me, I ain't never done too hot
I didn't think that I'd survive But I'm still alive and sixty-five
Yeah, still alive and sixty-five
I sure need some help though The only chance for me is to move out of there
That Appalachian territory
