Can Junkie



He's a can junkie Pickin' up the cans along the road He's a can junkie I wonder when he'll ever go home Now it's a good thing to recycle Clean up the world before it's too late And Papa's making pennies going cannin' Enough to keep him going out that gate Perhaps you saw him last time you went camping Asking for your empty cans of beer Or maybe when you threw that all night party Save him your cans and he'll say he didn't hear. Be careful when you drink a beer at his house He'll take your can before you finished it Remember where he keeps the can bag He'll crush them oft enough that it will fit. Mama's got his picture in the parlor The grandkids so will all be here Papa's figured how to go cross country On other people's cans of beer.
