Enough Rope by Chris Knight
Enough Rope lyrics
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up.
Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump.
If I had other plans on my graduation day,
Then several years ago I guess I hauled �em all away.
Yeah I hauled �em all away.
She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned 18.
I did what your supposed to do. I bought her a ring.
He didn�t have to ask us, but he asked us anyway.
We stood up and said, �I do.� what else were we gonna say?
What else were we gonna say?
Well I�m thankful for the things I have,
And all the things I don�t.
And I�ve got dreams that will come true,
And I�ve got some that won�t.
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes.
�Cuz you can�t hang yourself if you ain�t got enough rope.
My boss man is mad. I did just what he asked.
I mowed the courthouse lawn watched the prisoners walkin� past
I�m happy to be working, instead of wearin� chains.
Like my cousin Willy, he�s locked up in the grange.
He�s locked up in the grange.
But I�m thankful for the things I have,
And all the things I don�t.
And I�ve got dreams that will come true,
I�ve got some that won�t.
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes.
�Cuz you can�t hang yourself if you ain�t got enough rope.
There�s a tavern down the highway, I go to drink some beers.
And wash down all I�m missin� by hangin� around here.
Then I drive back to the trailer
