I used to say if I won the lottery, I would buy a big church for my Dad.
But that country preacher has gone to glory, and now has a mansion for his pad.
For my Mother I would buy a big house, and a brand new car.
She would have servants, a grand piano, and a gold guitar.
I would have no trouble finding a suitable date.
But they would have to be screened, or get stopped at the gate.
My ex would come running, but I would tell him, “Not a chance.”
What the heck, I would buy him a house too, but there would be no romance.
I would travel, and go dancing each night with a new man,
With no worries or cares, except for working on my tan.
I would own at least ten dogs in my country estate,
And they would have their own nanny, and eat off a silver plate.
Maybe I would tire of champagne and caviar, and dancing til sunrise,
And if so, I would go off to McDonald’s for a Big Mac and french fries.
I would have my own driver, and a giant motorhome.
I would be camping in luxury...and in the 50 states I would roam.
