lyrics

If I wasn't born a fool,
I'd be going home with you,
Instead of standing in the cold,
If I wasn't born a fool,
Couple more inches I'd have grew,
But now I'm close to the ground where I belong,

*Chorus*
Oh though I do my best to whine,
I have dined a trouble or two,
"Mmm and it sure tastes good",
Said the boy who on his rope he chewed,
Yeah they hung him so high,
He sung the whole sky blue

If I wasn't born a liar,
I'd have stayed away from fire,
I don't hang well from no wire,
If I wasn't born a liar,
I'd have never known the ire,
Of my misplaced desires,

*Chorus*

If I knew that I'd die a coward,
I'd have sang a little louder,
I'd have played more out of tune,
If I knew that I'd die a coward,
I'd have screamed "hang me higher!",
They'd have yelled back "What a fool",

*Chorus*

Puttin' Me On

Erdy's tunes are ones to sit down and dive into. They say a picture says a thousand words. I'd say Erdy's words paint a thousand pictures. Close your eyes, listen up, and enjoy. MAKE NO BONES
