Here ain't nothin' that ain't in my way
And like the fool I am for my own gain I pray
You say you found a way back inside my closet
Ol' bones upon bones and joints upon sockets
Yep, yep
I am an honest man when I ain't lying
I am a living man when I commence to dyin'
Bring it down, bring it down on me
Put me on a high horse so everyone can see
Then kick the nag and leave me be
Swingin' 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 hounds 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
