Some cheer for tomorrow: ninety-nine and 1/2 won't do

I used to favor the Mavis Staples version but ran across this tonight; a bit more lively and one of those "happy" songs. I hope someone else enjoys it as much as I did.

I normally hate Country, but this song is pretty funny, it is about a son who winds up in prison, and he is singing that when he was a child, his momma tried to raise him right, and teach him to do right, but he just was too set in his bad ways, and ended up in prison doing life.
