lyrics

I got a new mule to ride (2x)
The old one needed shooting
Don’t consider it a crime

Fifty bucks from an old junkyard
Get on top and you’ll go far
It don’t need to be justified
I got a new mule to ride

It’s not too bright but it sure is strong (2x)
Hitched to a wagon, easy to use
How can a deal like that be wrong?

Anyhow you can make it
Anytime you can take it
No matter what it’s called
Might as well fake it
See if you’re redeemed

Seen me in a mask uptown
Painted lips, hair hanging down
Say “Ain’t you ever been satisfied?”
I wasn’t raised to touch the ground

Four legs are better than two
Drive them hard before you lose
The illusion of dignity
It passes with the moon

I don’t want to face myself
Give me another name
The keys to someone else
I won’t ever have to die
I got a new mule to ride

Never tried to defy it
Or pretend to deny it
No matter the price I’m good for it
Yes I shall be redeemed

She got a new mule to ride (2x)
The old one needed shooting
Don’t consider it a crime

Ride it from the grave to New Orleans
From Cry Me a River to Troublesome Creek
Before the Devil comes
Say Time for getting on
To the business of your dreams
