High Wide & Handsome lyrics

PLAY LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III High Wide & Handsome video High wide and handsome - thats how I like livin.
High wide and handsome - thats how life should be.
Low skinny and ugly - thats for other people.
High wide and handsome suits me to a tee.
Song, wine, and women - theyre my 3 favorites.
Beer, gin, and whiskey - thats 5, 6, and 4.
Saturday night I like eatin and dancin
And I sleep all day Sunday sos Im ready for more.
High wide and handsome - you cant take it with you.
High wide and handsome - thats one way to go.
Lets live it up - might as well, were all dying.
High wide and handsome - lets put on a show.
Cant quit what will kill me, so why even bother?
I love this hard livin, so why even try?
Ill be high wide and handsome when I kick the bucket.

Ill be high wide and handsome on the day that I die.
High wide and handsome - you can call it my motto.
High wide and handsome - call it my creed.
Moneys just paper, liquors thicker than water -
High wide and handsome in thought, word, and deed.
Have high wide and handsome carved on my head stone,
With the date I was born plus the date that I died,
Then take one from the other - all thats left is a
number.
Just remember I laughed twice as hard as I cried.
High wide and handsome - thats how I like livin.
High wide and handsome - thats how life should be.
Low skinny and ugly - thats for other people -
High wide and handsome suits me to a tee.
