Water Your Own Yard
Have you heard my story
It's all over town
I had the love of a real fine girl
I let her down
She loved and she trusted
And I could not be true
Now I'm drowning in a river of love
I don't know what I'll do
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
Here's a priceless piece of advice
Before your well goes dry
[Chorus]
Water your own yard
Water your own yard
When the other man's grass looks greener
Water your own yard
I started slippin'
Started messin' around, after dark
She called me, told me come on over
Showed me right where to park
It was then that I stumbled
It was then that I fell
I threw everything that I owned
Into the wishin' well
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
Here's a priceless piece of advice
Before your well goes dry
[Chorus]
I wouldn't listen
I just couldn't conceive
I paid no attention to love
Reachin' out for me
I went lookin' for the greener grass
With no water in my well
Now I'm sittin' on the bottom
With a bucket and a story to tell
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
Here's a priceless piece of advice
Before your well goes dry
[Chorus]
When the other man's grass looks greener
Water your own yard.
