[Verse 1]
Well, I left Silicon Valley back in '17
And went to Miami, chasing the crypto dream.

The first year, I was just a newbie, learning the ropes
Every day, I'd watch the prices rise and fall
And sometimes, I'd hang my head and cry. 
'Cause I always wanted me a mining rig that was fast and strong

One day, I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a backpack in my hand

Now, getting caught meant getting banned
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I'm outta land
I'd have me a rig worth at least a hundred grand

[Chorus]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'd know it's me when I come through your town.

I'm gonna mine around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll be the one who drains the power, and the whole town will go dark!

[Verse 2]
So the very next day, when I punched in
With my big backpack and with help from my friend
I left that day with a backpack full of parts

I've never considered myself a thief
But these guys wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years

The first day, I got me a GPU
And the next day, I got me a motherboard and a CPU
Then I got me a RAM and all the cooling fans

The little things I could get in my big backpack
Like cables, screws, and a power supply pack
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's van

Now, up to now, my plan went alright
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong

The motherboard was an AM4
And the CPU turned out to lack one core
And when we tried to put in the GPU, the slot was bent

So we straightened it out, it was a tight fit
And with a little bit of help from an adapter kit
We had that rig running just like a song!

Now the fans, they was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch, all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kind of funny too
But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one power cord

About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said, "Honey, let's mine some more"

So we drove up town just to get the cords
And I headed her right on down the main drag
I could hear everybody laughing for blocks around

But up there at the power plant, they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up, it took the whole staff
And when they got through, the bill weighed sixty pounds

[Chorus]
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'd know it's me when I come through your town

I'm gonna mine around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll be the one who drains the power, and the whole town will go dark!

[Outro]
Uh, yeah, Red Ryder?
This is the Cotton Mouth in the Crypto-Rig Cadillac, come on

Huh? This is the Cotton Mouth
And negatory on the cost of this machine, there, Red Ryder
You might say I went right up to the factory and picked it up
It's cheaper that way

Uh, what model is it?

Well, it's got a 3090, a 3080, a 2080 Ti, a 1080 Ti, a 1070, a 980 Ti, a 970, a 780 Ti, and a 770... 
all overclocked, baby!

It's a monster, a beast, a crypto-mining machine!
