If I won me the lottery 
I'd dance naked in the street 
With a top hat full of money 
& you'd want to get to know me 
If I won me the lottery

& if I was a movie star 
I'd sip honey from a pickle jar 
In the back of my limousine 
& they'd call me an icon 
& I'd be lookin' back at you 
From the cover of the People magazine

I guess it's all for the takin' 
I guess it's all yours and mine 
My sister says I got to see it & believe it 
& I believe I believe it 

But I'm just an outsider 
Livin' in a trailer with my black & white TV set 
If only I was President 
You know I'd paint the White House pink 
& never have to pay the rent 
If only I was President

I guess it's all there for the takin' 
I think it's all yours & mine 
My preacher says I got to see it to believe it 
& I believe 
Won't sleep till I've had enough 
I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup 
I believe won't sleep till I've had enough

Delicious Surprise 
Now I do believe 
No fear in my eyes 
Now I can see 

Heaven's inside inside inside 
I knew it all the time 
Got me somethin to believe in 
But all I really want now is 
A handful of salvation
