This here song might offend you some.
If it does, it's because you're dumb.
That's the way it is where I come from.
If you been there too, let me see your thumb.

Show me your thumb if your really dumb.
Show me your thumb if your dumb.

Hey now, better make a decision.
Be a moron, and keep your position.

Won't help you no-how.

You're gonna wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Pumpin' the gas every night.
Pumpin' the gas every night.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Pumpin' the gas every night.
Pumpin' the gas every night.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station
Many da camper wants to by some white.
Wind up workin' in a gas station

Wind up workin' in a gas station.
Wind up workin' in a gas station.

    Many da camper wants to buy some white...... It took me forever to understand and realize what he was exactly saying during that verse. What he's trying to explain in that sentence I still have no clue. I assume it has something to do with working at the gas station. Maybe it's people with campers need to get kerosene(is there such thing as white kerosene)? I don't know, maybe I'm Going Out on a limb with that 1 really stretching. But you never know. I guess maybe I'll just look it up and see what he means. If I can find somebody that will explain it.
