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
