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
