5 lbs. of Possum

My children are hungry
And my dog needs a bone
I ain’t got a job now
So I’m just drivin' home
An hour after sundown
And much to my delight
There’s five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
Well there’s five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
If I can run him over
Ev’rything’ll be alright
We’ll have some possum gravy
Oh what a wonderful sight
There’s five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
Don’t have to kill no chickens
Don’t have to open no cans
Just a little bit closer
And I’ll have him in my hands
I think the time has come now
To go from dim to bright
There’s five pounds of possum
In my headlights tonight
