[Verse]
C
God came down to Earth
F C
To enjoy what She'd created
C
Took a fishing trip to Georgia
G
To see what She could see
C
Cast out a holy line
F C
Thought She'd hooked a big one
F C
Reeled in a oil barrel
G C
And said, "Oh my me!"
[Chorus]
C F C
This is why your whole world is on fire
G
This is why you can't drink from your own springs
C G C G F
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
C G C
This is why y'all can't have nice things
[Verse]
C
So She walked back to the highway
F C
Flagged down a passing stranger
C
An old man with a kind streak
G
Who offered Her a toke
C
Just as She was partakin'
F C
The blue lights started flashing
F C
As they slipped the handcuffs on Her
G C
She thought this must be a joke
[Chorus]
C F C
This is why y'all are all strung out to Christmas
G
This is why I left you all them seeds
C G C G F
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
C G C
This is why y'all can't have nice things
[Solo]
C F C G C F C F C G C
[Verse]
C
So She walked out of the jail
F C
With a rap sheet and no money
Went lookin' for a coffee
