ALL THE DIFFERENCE

I waved my wiser friends good bye (on the road less travelled by)
I lost my way and I lost my ride
Got a burr in my ass and a thorn in my side
Now this low road don't seem as high

Drank all my water and all my wine, ate all my vittles till I plum run dry

Got a broken nose and 2 black eyes
Was rolled 4 times by the same 2 guys

GOT WRAPPED UP IN A BARBED WIRE FENCE
IN TANGLES AND THE PRICKERS EVER SINCE
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Met some other folks was near to dyin’
Was fools like me and went to trying
We spent our powder shootin' snipes
We smoked our maps and cracked our pipes

Drank all our water and all our wine, ate all our vittles till we plum run dry

We slept in a coop and bathed in a sty
We chewed our boots and cursed the sky

GOT WRAPPED UP IN A BARBED WIRE FENCE
IN TANGLES AND THE PRICKERS EVER SINCE
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Them wiser folks just don't know why
I hope they choke on a hemp rope tie
We got each other until we die
And the first one dead is the first to fry

Drank all our water and all our wine, ate all our vittles till we plum run dry

So if you're young and foolish come on by
But there's a reason few will go to try

GOT WRAPPED UP IN A BARBED WIRE FENCE
IN TANGLES AND THE PRICKERS EVER SINCE
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
