So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote
 All along the fences, all along the lines
 Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'
 Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry

 Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs
 Everything yer hating is everything you been
 So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell
 How dry I once was there ain't no tung can tell

 Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose
 Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose
 All along the fences, all along the lines
 Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'
 Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry
