1. My children are hungry, my dog needs a bone.
A7 D
I'm out of a job now, so I'm just drivin' home.

An hour after sundown, when what to my delight,
G D G
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
Refrain
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
If I can run him over, every thing’ll be all right.
We'll have some possum gravy, oh what a sight;
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
2. Won't have to clean no chicken, won't have to open no cans.
Just a little bit closer, and I'll have him in my hands.
I think the time has come now, to go from "dim" to "bright."
There's five pounds of possum in my headlights tonight.
