Taking down your neighbor
Won't take you any higher
I burned my own damn finger
Poking someone else's fire
I've never gotten taller
Making someone else feel small
If you ain't got nothing nice to say
Don't say nothing at all
Just hoe your own row
And raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke
And grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences
And own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
Nobody's perfect
We've all lost and we've all lied
Most of us have cheated
The rest of us have tried
The holiest of holies
Even slip from time to time
We've all got dirty laundry
Hanging on the line
So hoe your own row
And raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke
And grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences
And own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
Pouring salt in my sugar
Won't make yours any sweeter
Pissing in my yard
Ain't gonna make yours any greener
And I wouldn't know
About the rocks in your shoes
So I'll just do me
And honey you can just do you
So hoe your own row
And raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke
And grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences
And own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits
And life will be gravy
