Emily Ann Roberts
The Fence
[Verse 1]
He's a Bible on the dash of his Chevy
Give the shirt off his back
Salt of the earth, steady as the dirt
He kicks on the welcome mat
[Verse 2]
He’s worked hard for a half-hundred acres
It's heaven far as you can see
He don't need much, just the two of us
Sittin’ on a hickory swing
[Chorus]
He's sippin' that Kentucky
Starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky
One part wants to run
When he hears a tin roof rainin'
I feel a restless wind
There's a good man on the porch
And I'm on the fence
[Verse 3]
What if these drеams I’m dreamin’
Take me past thе county line?
The town gets small and the highway calls
And I need to touch the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
No, it ain't so cut and dry
[Chorus]
He’s sippin' that Kentucky
Starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky
One part wants to run
When he hears a tin roof rainin’
I feel a restless wind
There's a good man on the porch
And I'm on the fence
Ooh
[Bridge]
If I settle down, would I wonder 'bout
What's around the bend, every now and then?
I'm back and forth
Like that rockin' chair he's rockin' in
[Chorus]
Sippin' that Kentucky
Starin' at the settin' sun
One part of me feels lucky
One part wants to run
When he hears a tin roof rainin'
I feel a restless wind
Oh, why am I so torn?
There's a good man on the porch
And I'm on the fence
Ooh
