"At Least I'm The King" - Grandpa Rufus for Gems In The Rough 2023

My submission for #gemsintherough2023
Well I sit at the bar, they put shots in my jar
The bartenders know me by name
They've seen me up, they've seen me down
They just smile and treat me the same
Well you won't know your friends, til the bottles get bent
So we drank til our elbows were sore
All you really need is some good company
So tonight, my friends, I'm yours
With a six pack of beer and a line of coke
A big bag of weed that my buddy brought to smoke
Sittin on the john reading girlie magazines
May not be a castle, but at least I'm the king.
Well it was early one morning, late in July
When she packed up her things and she told me goodbye
I really can't blame her, for the shape that I'm in
It's equal parts whiskey, codeine, and gin
With a six pack of beer and a line of coke
A big bag of weed that my buddy brought to smoke
Sittin on the john reading girlie magazines
May not be a castle, but at least I'm the king.
Well I called up momma, and told her I was down
That I may never find love again
Well she told me that thing, that she always did
To help me pick up my chin
You want to know what she said (Yeah)
She said, fiddlesticks
With a six pack of beer and a line of coke
A big bag of weed that my buddy brought to smoke
Sittin on the john reading girlie magazines
May not be a castle, but at least I'm the king.
