High Wide & Handsome

(album: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)

High wide and handsome that's how I like living
High wide and handsome that's how life should be
Low skinny and ugly that's for other people
High wide and handsome suits me to a tee
Song, wine, and women they're my three favorites
Beer, gin, and whiskey that's five, six, and four
Saturday night I like eating and dancing
And I sleep all day Sunday so's I'm ready for more
High wide and handsome you can't take it with you
High wide and handsome that's one way to go
Let's live it up might as well, we're all dying
High wide and handsome let's put on a show
Can't quit what will kill me, so why even bother'
I love this hard living, so why even try'
I'll be high wide and handsome when I kick the bucket

I'll be high wide and handsome on the day that I die
High wide and handsome you can call it my motto
High wide and handsome call it my creed
Money's just paper, liquor's thicker than water
High wide and handsome in thought, word, and deed
Have high wide and handsome carved on my head stone
With the date I was born plus the date that I died
Then take one from the other all that's left is a number
Just remember I laughed twice as hard as I cried
High wide and handsome that's how I like living
High wide and handsome that's how life should be
Low skinny and ugly that's for other people
High wide and handsome suits me to a tee
