The Way the Whole Thing Ends
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Say you wanna see my garden And you wanna make it shine Say you wanna see my blue jeans Hanging on your old clothesline [Chorus 1] Standing in the back door crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends [Verse 2] Now what's a little baby doing Dressing up in banker's clothes? What's a little sweetheart like you Doing with a bloody nose? [Chorus 2] Standing in the backdoor crying Now you're gonna need a friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends [Verse 3] Now once you had a hook and ladder Up into the headless night Once you had a motorcycle But you couldn't ride it right [Chorus 2] Standing in the doorway crying Now you're gonna need a friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends [Verse 4] Now someone said something one time But Daddy didn't talk too loud People ought to stick together That's the way to make a crowd [Chorus 3] But here you come, alone and crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends [Verse 5] Mama's in the beauty parlor And Daddy's in the baseball pool Sister's in the drive-in movie Brother's in the old high school [Chorus 4] Now here you come, alone and crying Once, you know, you were my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends [Chorus 1] Standing in the backdoor crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole things ends
