If ya gave me a nickle to mend my ways
Well then i'd have a nickle and i reckon i'd probably owe you change
I dont have a care, i dont have a plan
I got nothin' to spare and it's just the way I am
If you gave me your 2 cents on how to live my life
Well then i'd have 2 cents and a great big pile of bad advice
I dont doubt your mind or abilities
I just highly doubt that ya know what's right for me

You say I'm Stubborn as a Mule, boy
'cause you got words i just won't hear
I may seem Stubborn as a Mule, boy
But if wealth is measured by the ease
Ya do just what ya please
Then i'm the richest man in here!

You say to save my pennies for a rainy day
But i can't buy beer with pennies i gone and stashed away
And that rainy day may be when i'm dead
So i'd rather spend them now on beer instead
If ya bet me a dollar that I am wrong
Then i'd take your dollar and put in the Jukebox for this song
And i'd sit on back and pretend to hear
Your nagging words while i finish up my beer

You say I'm Stubborn as a Mule, boy
'cause you got words i just won't hear
I may seem Stubborn as a Mule, boy
But if wealth is measured by the ease
Ya do just what ya please
Then i'm the richest man in here!
You got the things ya need and that's all right for you
You got that cubicle and that 3 piece suit
You got security and high pretension too
And ya got that tie that fits you like a noose! Ha ha ha ha!
Bet your bottom dollar that the buck stops here
'cause if you meet me in another 40 years
I'll still be broke and i may be old
But the life I've lived would have been worth more than gold

You say I'm Stubborn as a Mule, boy
'cause you got words i just won't hear
I may seem Stubborn as a Mule, boy
But if wealth is measured by the ease
Ya do just what ya please
Then i'm the richest man in here!
