[Verse 1:]
(That's the world according to Raymond)
And a Raymond according to me
He lives down in old North Carolina
Makes moonshine from good cropper web
He carries a big thirty eight it's illegal
But we know that Raymond don't care
Raymond explains his religion
It's the air it's the earth it's the earth
Lord gives it to you and he takes it away
And without it you ain't got a prayer
(That's the a world according to Raymond)
He's rough he's tough and he's free

[Chorus:]
That's the a world according to Raymond
That's Raymond according to me

[Verse 2:]
Now Ray never killed anybody
But he hurt some that got in his way
Raymond still makes it but Raymond quit drinkin'
He got beat up in the friendly cafe
Now an old hog ain't got but one blood vein
And it's located there in his neck
If you don't believe it come back next December
But I ain't been back down there yet
[Chorus]
