There 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
I am an honest man
When I am not 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', 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 was clean as a hounds tooth
I still love the woman of my youth
The Lord on my behalf does pray
Even me, even in harm's way
