Water Your Own Yard Songtext
von Cody Canada & The Departed

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
I could not be true
Now I'm drownin′ in a river of love
I don't know what I'll do

I paid a real high price for my wanderin′ eye
Here′s a priceless piece of advice
Before your well goes dry

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

Water your own yard
Water your own yard
When the other man's grass looks greener
Water your own yard

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 wanderin′ eye
Here's a priceless piece of advice
Before your well goes dry


Water your own yard
Water your own yard
When the other man′s grass looks greener
Water your own yard

When the other man's grass looks greener
Water your own yard
