Mending Fences

Saw your name on the marquee sign
In this sleepy little black creek town of mine
They really thought you were somebody and so did I
'Aint it funny how the Rhinestones Lied
Dusty Promises and smoky screens
You were Golden and I was green
You stitched your story from old glory and broken dreams
'Aint it funny when when karma's mean

'Aint nobody wants a has been Outlaw
Empty pocketed rebel with no cause
So take my money if the truth don't weigh you down
You broke my spirit like a Cherokee pony
Paid my dues but you still don't own me
You keep pretending
While I'm mending fences

The sun comes up on a brand new day
I thank my callused hands for what they say
Worked my fingers to the bone to rebuild what you took away
'Aint it funny what goes around comes to stay

'Aint nobody wants a has been outlaw
Empty pocketed rebel with no cause
So take my money if the truth don't weigh you down
You broke my spirit like a Cherokee pony
Paid my dues but you still don't own me
You keep pretending
While I'm mending fences

I'm not bitter I'm better off
Learn the hard way makes you pretty tough
But I wouldn't change the past
Healed my heart searched my soul
I was not your first rodeo
And I wont be your last

'Aint nobody wants a has been outlaw
Empty pocketed rebel with no cause
So take my money if the truth don't weigh you down
You broke my spirit like a Cherokee pony
Paid my dues but you still don't own me
You keep pretending
You keep pretending while I'm
Mending Fences
Mending Fences
