Proper Fence

Alejandro Rose-Garcia

[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
