Title: OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE

1-
Whoever said, what goes 'round, comes around,
Must've broke the carousel,
Took the shirt off my back,
Just gave it away,
Left naked as a Jay with no tail.

2-
Last time ya' came 'round,
The last big showdown,
I ended up blowing my stack,
Seems like you've quit coming around,
Since you took the shirt right off my back.

CHORUS:
Yeah,
IF I COULD COME AROUND TO MY COMMON SENSE,
THE GATE COULD SWING OPEN,
TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FENCE,
WHEN YOU VIEW IT THRU YER NEIGHBOR'S DEBTS,
YA' KNOW, THE OPPOSITE SIDE
OF THE FENCE LOOKS BEST,
BUT, DARLIN',
IF YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE,
IT'S THE LONLIEST SIDE OF ME YET,
(long pause with guitar licks here)...
WISH YOU'D GO AROUND AND COME AROUND,
TO WHERE I SIT,
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE.

3-
If the pasture's greener on,
Another side than mine,
Isn't rain and mud over there?
It doesn't really matter,
WHICH side I try,
I always slip in a fresh cow pie!.....
....Talk: "Ah-h-h, and it's green alright!"
(Sing) On the other side of the fence !

REPEAT CHORUS:

End with: (Sing) YEAH, She took the shirt off my back, and "common cents" .....(Talk) YOU GUESSED IT.....TO THE BANK ! ....... (sing) NOW, THAT'S HER SIDE OF THE FENCE.
