Five Pounds of Possum

My children are hungry and my dog needs a bone
I ain’t got a job now so I’m just driving home
An hour after sundown and much to my delight
There’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

Well there’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
If I can run him over everything will be alright
We’ll have some possum gravy oh what a wonderful sight
There’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

Don’t have to kill no chickens don’t have to open no cans
Just a little bit closer and I’ll have him in my hands
I think the time has come now to go from dim to bright
There’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight

Well there’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
If I can run him over everything will be alright
We’ll have some possum gravy oh what a wonderful sight
There’s 5 pounds of possum in my headlights tonight
