Proper Fence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just a mile down the road and a street or two away Lives that freckled misses that I want most every day To the home of her father I'm gonna drag my sore old feet Tell him shes the woman who can wake me from my sleep [Chorus] Well she said, "Kiss me" And lord I listened But I haven't gone back since I curse the mind for building proper fence [Verse 2] So I will roll and I will suffer Curse the soil and curse the stones Keep my eyes a leakin' for that girl does love my bones [Verse 3] Well I've known her for a year I've only seen her seven days One week too many to keep a man like me away [Chorus] She said, "Kiss me" And lord I listened But I haven't gone back since I curse the mind for building proper fence [Verse 4] So three years after Found her doorstep Found her shoes and found her kin They told me old grim reaper Done come and turned her in [Outro] Pourin' liquor on the stone That marks my lost and gone I will whimper and wail And sing her funeral song
