And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Some people say I'm a no count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.

Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now,
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

God damn, The Pusher
God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man.

When I was a little baby, my mama she said "Son.
Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."
