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
