here 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  yep yey  i am an honest man when i ain't 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 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 as clean as a hounds tooth  i still love the woman of my youth  the lord on my behalf doth pray  he's with me even in harm's way
