For those of you who are wondering, I did not make up the title: I heard this song in a local bluegrass jam. The chord progression is a typical bluegrass:

(G) I've got five pounds of possum in my (C) headlights (G) tonight And if I can get a piece of him (A) it'll be (D) alright (G) Biscuits and possum gravy -- (C) whatta (G) delight! Yeah, I've got five pounds of possum in my (D) headlights (G) tonight!

Thanks to Joe Offer for providing a link to the lyrics, but I'm sure that there were more verses than just those two that are listed there. It's up to all of you to hunt down (ugh) the song and post the complete lyrics.
