How to Live Like Beggar Weeds

for Beggar Weeds

First, you’re gonna have to graduate
and get a new truck.
It may take like 5 years
but, I’m sorry, there are pre-reqs for this.

Next, you’re probably gonna have to pack up
your shit and move to out Old Picolata.
It’s way the hell out there I know, but,
it’s on the river
so I think you’re gonna like it.

The neighbors are likely
to have a lot of stuff
scattered around their yard
so you might want to
put up a fence.

The light is sure to change quite a bit
in your house
so that’s something
you’ll want to be to be prepared for.

As far as diet goes,
you’ll want to eat
at The Piccadilly
as often as you can,
but you might also
want to lay in some
PB&J’s, lettuce and sand,
just in case.

So, that’s how you at least start
to live like Beggar Weeds.
Listen to the record yourself,
make a few fine friends,
and take the rest from there.

I think if you do, though,
you’ll learn to love Old Florida
