lyrics

Would ya' let me in? No I ain’t got much, but she’s a damn fine hen at that
To lay some eggs, an’ they’ll grow some legs, and then we’ll have a plenty fat
Hot suppers at the table, where many generations sat
Break the bread & pass the spread, and thank the Lord for the hen out back

And yes this wine tastes mighty fine, if I do say so myself
I ain’t no thug but we needed a jug, so I took one from the shelf
And that old liquor store, been standin’ since Lennon fell
So I do expect they can collect their coin from someone else

This old dog sure could use a new bone
He keeps digging at some fresh dirt by a gravestone…
Won't ya' run on home!

Yes this leg was made to shake, God forsake me if I lie
And these hands were made to clap, and to pass around the rye
Oh, this mouth was made to love ya', and shout it to the sky
With my sisters & my brothers, we’ll get to Glory by and by

This old dog sure could use a new bone
He keeps digging at some fresh dirt by a gravestone…

(Won't ya' run on home!) Tryin’ to beat the sundown
(Won't ya' run on home!) Turn the tunes up real loud
(Won't ya' run on home!) Hot dogs and sauerkraut
I’ve waited all day baby…
(Won't ya' run on home!) Dim the lights way down low
(Won't ya' run on home!) Tryin’ to see them eyes glow
(Won't ya' run on home!) Hike your skirt up real slow
I’ve waited all day baby…
I’ve waited all day baby
I’ve waited all day baby…
I’ve waited all damn day...
