"Powers That Be" lyrics

I drop a dollar in the offering plate
Give Uncle Sam his due
Pull string push with a half dull blade keeps my front yard grass down to two inches
View's real nice from the bottom
Little piece of land, pretty girl to hold
And naw I ain't got the problems that you're gonna find at the top of the totem pole

There's power in ice-cold beer
There's power in love sweet love
The way it works down here is you can't hold down what you ain't above
I might be sitting here blowing smoke
Broke as a joke but lord I'm free
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be

I try to practice what I preach
Live my own way of life
There's a whole lot out of my reach
But I got a nice handle on a Friday night
If your crown gets too heavy
Light it up with a splash of Coke
But now the real deal trick is not trying to fix all the little things that just ain't broke

There's power in ice cold beer
There's power in love sweet love
The way it works down here is you can't hold down what you ain't above
I might be sitting here blowing smoke
Broke as a joke but lord I'm free
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be

And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be

There's power in ice cold beer
There's power in love sweet love
The way it works down here is you can't hold down what you ain't above
I might be sitting here blowing smoke
Broke as a joke but lord I'm free
And that's a power that is higher than the powers that be
