[Verse 1]
Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are

[Chorus]
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven

[Verse 2]
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose
Roll up your window and hold your nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

[Chorus]
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of thе road
Dead skunk in the middle of thе road
Stinkin' to high heaven

[Bridge]
Yeah, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog
On a moonlit night, you got your dead toad frog
You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon
The blood and the guts, they're gonna make you swoon
[Chorus]
You got your dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
And it's stinkin' to high heaven

[Outro]
Come on, stink
You got it
It's dead, it's in the middle
It smells like a quarter bag of weed
It smells like the back of Willie Nelson's tour bus
The front too
It smells like somethin' Josh Abbott doesn't allow on his tour bus
Not true
Oh, the pollution, it's dead
