Just because he's lazy sits around with the blues
They run Monroe off without his shoes
He always was lazy and he never liked to work
But now his feet they are bare as he runs through the dirt

If my family should ever do me that way
Id put my shoes on and go far away
But if they didn't give me time they say I had to go
Then my feet would be bare I'd be just like Monroe

   Well i guess they told him
   They didn't need him there
   And if he was out of the way
   They would draw welfare
   That's whats messing up the country and making it so tough
   While monroe's living it down
   His family's living it up
