Fence Post Blues Lyrics by Arlo Guthrie

Fence Post Blues Lyrics


    Sitting down on a country fence post
    Sitting down watchin' trucks roll by
    Sitting down under the light of day now
    You know that I won't tell you no lies
    I've been here for an hour or so
    And nothing much is going down
    I don't care much anyway
    Because you know I've been around
    Here on the edge of the green fields growing
    And the sunlight warming all around
    And the blowing of the early mist in the morning
    You know that I don't hear a sound
    Till once in a while, when a truck rolls by,
    Carrying a overload
    I don't wanna go nowhere right now
    I feel like my future sold
    Stand on the good land children
    You know that it won't do you in
    I must have been here one time before
    But I wonder where the hell I've been
    Early in the morning when the sun comes up
    And I'm walkin' all around the field
    Thinkin' to myself about the city life scenes
    And man you know they ain't for real
    All you got to do is stick your foot in your mouth
    And tell it where you want to go
    End up talkin' to yourself some time
    Alone along a country road
    Stand on the good land children
    I feel like I'm bound to stay
    And do the same this morning
    Like I went and did yesterday
    Stand on the good land children
    You know that it won't do you in
    I must have been here one time before
    But I wonder where the hell I've been
