[Verse]
Em
Cane poles hanging out of a four door window
                              D          Em
Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard
Em
Box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers
                          D      Em
A day on the river's what I live for

[Chorus]
         D
Got the radio playing and my boat while I float
        Em
Take a toke and listen to Merle
D                                     Em
Hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun
I'm king of the world

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em
They grow big gators in south Louisiana
                                  D       Em
My neighbors in the swamp take an evening nap
Em
Shoo fly, shoo fly, Polk salad Annie
                         D       Em
Listen to the bull frogs hip hop rap

[Chorus]
        D
I got a pretty thing waiting downtown
        Em
I'm in love with a green eyed girl
           D
I'm gonna catch me a fish, go home, get a kiss, play
Em
Yes, I'm king of the world

[Verse]
Em
Got a stringer full of bass and a hookie in my finger
                      D      Em
Sun burnt face and a Tylenol buzz
Em
Take the good with the bad and the bad with the better
                         D           Em
The weather isn't bad so better not cuss

[Chorus]
         D
I got a roof over me and enough to eat
      Em
And a Labrador I call Earl
    D
He lays by my feet, looks up at me
     Em
Like I'm the King of the World

King of the world, king of the world
