[Verse 1]
Cane poles hanging out of a four door window
Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard
Box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers
A day on the river's what I live for

[Chorus]
Got the radio playing and my boat while I float
Take a toke and I listen to Merle
Hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun
I'm king of the world

[Verse 2]
They grow big gators in South Louisiana
My neighbors in the swamp take an evening nap
Shoo fly, shoo fly, Polk salad Annie
Listen to the bull frogs hip-hop rap

[Chorus]
I got a pretty thing waiting downtown
I'm in love with a green eyed girl
I'm gonna catch me a fish, go home, get a kiss
Why yes I'm king of the world

[Verse 3]
Got a stringer full of bass and a hookie in my finger
Sun burnt face and a Tylenol buzz
Take the good with the bad and the bad with the better
The weather isn't bad so better not cuss
[Chorus]
I got a roof over me and enough to eat
And a Labrador I call Earl
He lays by my feet, looks up at me
Like I'm the king of the world

[Verse 1]
Cane poles hanging out of a four door window
Bucket full of minnows in the front floorboard
Box full of greasy cold fried chicken livers
A day on the river's what I live for

[Chorus]
Got the radio playing and my boat while I float
Take a toke and I listen to Merle
Hot sun, cold one, I'll be a son of a gun
I'm king of the world
King of the world
I'm king of the world
