here ain't nothin' 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 ol' 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 dyin' 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 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
