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!
