Fence Post Blues

Sitting down on a country fence post Sitting down watchin’ trucks roll by Sitting down under the light of day now You know that I won’t tell you no lie I’ve been here about an hour or so And nothing much is going down I don’t care much anyway Because you know I’ve been around Here on the edge of the green fields growing And the sunlight warming all around And the blowing of the early mist in the morning You know that I don’t hear a sound ‘Til once in a while when a truck rolls by Carrying an overload I don’t wanna go nowhere right now I feel like my future’s sold Stand on the good land, children You know that it won’t do you in I must have been here one time before But I wonder where the hell I’ve been Early in the morning when the sun comes up And I’m walkin’ all along the field Thinkin’ to myself those city life scenes And man you know they ain’t for real All you gotta do is stick your foot in your mouth And tell it where you want to go End up talkin’ to yourself sometime Alone along a country road Stand on the good land children I feel like I’m bound to stay And do the same this morning Like I went and did yesterday Stand on the good land, children You know that it won’t do you in I must have been here one time before But I wonder where the hell I’ve been
