Had a big fine home one time but I went and left it
The warden begged the Lord to try hard not to catch me
Ventured into the world to seek my fortune and fame
I'm well known for nothing and zero is my name

Well awful soft makes a double op so they say
And I reckon I'm a double op buckshot all the way
Cause I'm pretty well shot and that's a fact
I'm not gonna help be a national hero
You can look at me and plainly see why everybody calls me zero

Everything I own you could throw through a hole in a doughnut
I'm a bag of bones and most all of them's been broke up
I'm livin' on a level that a snake could crawl beneath
And skid row Joe's pretend that they don't know me

Well awful soft makes a double op so they say...

It's been well past a year since I had my hair trimmed
And this county road uniform is beginning to wear thin
I'm lost on the road of life and I can't find no place
To squeeze myself back in to the human race

Well awful soft makes a double op so they say...
