Here ain't nothing that ain't in my way
An' like the fool I am for my own gain I pray
You say you found, a way back inside my closet
Old bones upon bones an' joints upon sockets
Yep yey

I am an honest man when I ain't lying
I am a living man when I commence to dying
Bring it down bring it down on me
Put me on a high horse so everyone can see
Then kick the nag
An' leave me be
Swinging from the tree

Listen good people, I'll tell you some truth
I got no reason to lie to you
I'm as clean as a hound's tooth
I still love the woman of my youth
The lord on my behalf doth pray
He's with me even in harm's way
