Lyrics
Verse 1
Well I was out in the field just breakin’ the ground,
On my John Deere baby, rollin’ around.
Got my overalls on, got a chaw in my lip,
Then I heard a POP and the tractor did skip.
Black gold started bubblin’ up through the clay,
I hollered, “Martha, we rich! We movin’ to L.A.!”
Called my brother-in-law and my cousin too,
Said, “I’m an oil baron now — how 'bout you?”
Chorus
I'm gonna buy me a truck with a hot tub bed,
Sleep on a mattress made of cornbread.
Gonna pave the road with marble and beer,
Hire Willie Nelson just to chew my ear.
I struck it big, yessir it's true…
Oil in the soil, hallelujah, woo-hoo!
Verse 2
Bought a gold-plated chicken coop for my hens,
Got a butler named Rick just to milk the men—
I mean cows! Don’t get that twisted, friend,
I’m just livin’ large on that oily blend.
Told the bank, “Stick your loan where the sun don't glow,”
Bought a yacht for my pond — it don’t even float.
Put a chandelier in my outhouse stall,
I’m the redneck king of a southern Taj Mahal!
Chorus
I’m wearin’ snakeskin socks on my goat’s feet,
Rollin’ cigars outta bacon grease.
Gonna wrestle Gators just for kicks,
Play poker with cows and politics.
I struck it big, I swear it’s true…
Oil in the soil, glory be, Yahoo!
Bridge
Then I got a sniff... something turned real wrong,
Like a skunk got sick at a chili cook-off.
Took a closer look to confirm the stank,
And Lord have mercy! It's my septic tank!
It wasn’t crude, it wasn’t slick,
It was brown and bubbly and mighty thick.
A busted pipe from 1992…
That ain’t oil, friends — that’s human stew.
Final Chorus
I’m covered in crap from my hat to my boot,
Smellin’ like a cow that done ate a toot.
There ain’t no mansion, no Hollywood call,
Just me and my shame in a poo waterfall.
I thought I struck gold, but here’s the clue…
Oil in the soil? Nope — just poo.
