Proper Fence

[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
