Asleep At The Wheel
"Pencil Full Of Lead" lyrics

Pencil Full Of Lead

I've got a sheet for my bed
And a pillow for my head
I've got a pencil full of lead
And some water for my throat
I've got buttons for my coat
And sails on my boat
So much more
Than I needed before
I got money in the meter
And a two bar heater
Oh now it's getting hotter
Oh it's only getting sweeter

I've legs on my chair
And a head full of hair
Pot and a pan
And shoes on my feet
I've got a shelf full of books
And most of my teeth
I've got a few pairs of socks
And a door with a lock
I've got food in my belly
And some shrimps for my telly
And nothing's gonna bring me down

Well, I've got a nice guitar
And tyres on my car
I've got most of the means
And scripts for the scenes
I'm out and about
So I'm in with a shout
I got a fair bit of chat
But better than that
I got food in my belly
And a license for my telly
And nothing's gonna bring me down
No, no, no

Well, best of all
I've got my baby
Best of all
I've got my baby
She's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down

Best of all
I've got my baby
Best of all
You know, I've got my baby
She's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down

She's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down

Yes, she's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down

Well, best of all
I've got my baby
Best of all
I've got my baby
She's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down

Well, she's mighty fine
And she said she's all mine
And nothing's gonna bring me down
