Capo 2
G C D G C
It's the world according to Raymond
G D G
And a Raymond, according to me
G D G
He lives down in old North Carolina
C D G
Makes moonshine from good copper wire
C D G C
He carries a big thirty eight, it's illegal
G D G
But we know that Raymond don't care
Raymond explains his religion
It's the air it's the earth it's the dirt
The Lord gives it to you and he takes it away
And without it you ain't got a prayer
Chorus:
C D G
That's the world according to Raymond
C D G
He's rough, he's tough and he's free
C D G C
That's the world according to Raymond
G D G
That's Raymond, according to me
Now Ray never killed anybody
But he hurt some that got in his way
Raymond still makes it but Raymond quit drinkin'
He got beat up in the friendly cafe
Now an old hog ain't got but one blood vein
And it's located there in it’s neck
If you don't believe it, come back next December
But I ain't been back down there yet
Chorus
That’s the world according to Raymond
And that’s Raymond. according to me
