I-95 JIMMY BUFFET 1981
GOD SAVES
Asshole Tonight I-95 Parody
The Asshole Song...
Well I was driving down I-95 the other night,
when somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
I decided it wasn't going to do any good to get mad,
so I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like this...
Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ******** tonight.
Yes you're an ********, and don't you try to blame it on me,
you deserve all the credit, you're an asshole tonight.
You were an assho-le yesterday, you're an ******** tonight,
and I've got a feeling, you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.
And I was talking to your mother, just the other night,
I told her I thought you were an asshole, she said "yes, I think you're right".
And a-ll your friends are assholes, 'cause you've known them your whole life,
and somebo-dy told me, you've got an asshole for a wife.
Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ******** tonight.
Mark has sent in more information about this song, here it is:
Hope this helps to settle it, but the tune was written by David Allan Coe. The most popular version was by Fred "August" Campbell and the Spur of the Moment Band.
The versions I've downloaded from Napster and other servers over the years that claim to be from Jimmy Buffet, sound identical to the August Campbell version, leading me to believe that the Buffet version may actually be August's version mistakenly credited to Jimmy and the Coral Reefers.
Anyway, if you want the full lyrics, here they are, as close a I can remember them:
Spoken: I was driven' down I-95 the other day, when some guy cut me clean off the road. I figured it wouldn't do any good to get angry, so I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like this:
Sung: Were you born an asshole, or did you work at it all you life? Either way it worked out fine, cause you're an asshole tonight.
Your an (spelled out) A S S H O L E, and don't you try to blame it on me....you deserve all the credit, cause you're an asshole, tonight.
You were an asshole yesterday, you're an asshole, tonight. And I got a feeling, you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.
Were you born an asshole, or did you work at it all you life? Either way it worked out fine, cause you're an asshole tonight.
I was talkin' to your mother, just the other night. I told her I thought you were an asshole, she said "Yes, I think you're" right.
And all your friends are asshole's, cause you've known them all your life, and I even heard, you got an asshole for a wife.
Were you born an asshole, or did you work at it all you life? Either way it worked out fine, cause you're an asshole tonight.
