The Opening Theme

Are these actual Billy Joe Shaver songs or original compositions he sings just for the show?  And where can I find the lyrics for all the variations?

My dreams are all dead and buried
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode
When god comes and calls me to his kingdom
I'll take all you sons a b1tch3s when i go
let her blow

She run off and took our only chicken
When I broke jail the house was burnt and bare
The japs moved the plant back to osaki
Some days life just don't seem that fair
I don't even care
I'm telling you I just don't give a d4mn.

My oldest son was born an albino
My youngest is covered in hair
The middle one says he's a homosexual
The other seven's gone I don't know where
And I don't care
I just don't care

I gave all my best years to that woman

All she gave to me was mouths to feed

A miracle straight from the loins of j3su5

Since Charlie blew off both of my testes

1969 Cam Ranh Bay

It was a massacre


Get your yankee a5s off of my property

Don’t care if the bank gave you the deed

This farm’s been Cuyler land for generations

Since we beat back them sneaky Japanese

In the war of 1812

Bring our boys home

Somehow I got spinal meningitis

Injecting all that hairspray in my spine

It’s a super cheap way to party

If you aim to kill some brain cells and some time

Good luck getting that child support check from me now.

She sauntered up to my house trick-or-treatin'

Hottest little witch I’d ever seen

How was I to know she was eleven

I thought this land was free from sea to sea

She looked at least 15

No child left behind

never heard this one... "She sauntered up to my house trick-or-treatin'
 Hottest little witch I’d ever seen
 How was I to know she was eleven
 I thought this land was free from sea to sea
 She looked at least 15
 No child left behind" ...I like it oh and the writers wrote the lyrics Shaver just performed them for the show.

Wow, I have been telling myself the past two weeks to find the lyrics and you just helped big time. Many thanks.
