Corn-Fed Blues

[Verse] Tied my ol' dog to the fence He just wouldn’t budge Wouldn’t eat no corn that I got out from the hedge Stubborn as a mule Like an old rusty saw Guess he wasn’t hungry or maybe there's a law [Verse 2] Now I got a pig Nuzzlin' at my feet Greedy little feller Always lookin' for a treat Eats corn from my hand Eats corn from my plate Eats corn from places that I’ll leave up to fate [Chorus] Life’s got its twists Like an old dirt road Sometimes you’re the farmer Sometimes you’re the toad Tie up your troubles Let them be Got a pig eatin' corn That’s good enough for me [Bridge] Dreamin’ ‘bout a cow Munchin' in the shade Whisperin' secrets that nature has laid Eatin' pork from my ears Who would believe? This life’s a funny puzzle Best just to relieve [Verse 3] Maybe it’s madness Maybe it’s grace Findin' joy in the oddest place Who needs a reason Who needs a rhyme? Livin’ this life One ear of corn at a time [Chorus] Life’s got its twists Like an old dirt road Sometimes you’re the farmer Sometimes you’re the toad Tie up your troubles Let them be Got a pig eatin' corn That’s good enough for me
