been getting 'round with one eye open most days
I been getting 'round with one eye open most days
I can find the phone, I can find the door
My cigarettes, don't need much more
I been getting 'round with one eye open most days

I been walking a straight line most days
I been walking a straight line most days
I don't want to be concerned
About the new stuff people learn
I been walking a straight line most days

I been standing in my own shoes most days
I been standing in my own shoes most days
I can always read about
The poor and hungry and down and out
I been standing in my own shoes most days

I been eating the fat of the land most days
I can buy just what I please
And throw away what I don't need
I been eating the fat of the land most days

I been stomping on hallowed ground most days
I been stomping on hallowed ground most days
They got the land with gifts and guns
So don't blame me for what they've done
I been stomping on hallowed ground most days

I been digging my own grave most days
I been digging my own grave most days
There ain't no crowd and there ain't no preacher
Just a head stone saying "that'll teach ya"
I been digging my own grave most days
Cause I been getting 'round with one eye open most days
