Set me up high in the tallest tree
dress me in lullabies and faded jeans
rock me slow, and tell me lies
one step over the line, this time
I'm just one step over the line

Pardon my heart,
pardon my eyes
I try to hold 'em but they skip and shy
pardon my blues, they're the mixed-up kind
ridin on a troublesome mind,
I got the mixed up troublesome kind

One of these days,
gonna find me
eatin peaches and a sweetest cream
tell you what's what
I'm gonna shine
gonna stay shiny all of the time

Some say love is like a honeysuckle vine,
comes on slowly then it starts to climb
sweet little flower, so soft and fine
ridin on a troublesome vine,
ridin on a troublesome vine,
ridin on a troublesome vine,
most of the time

Set me up high in the tallest tree
dress me in lullabies and old blue jeans
rock me slow and tell me lies
one step over the line, this time
I'm just a-one step over the line
