Lyrics

MENDING FENCES

VERSE 1
A cloud of dust was rolling up around his old John Deer
He said "Son there's a lot of work that needs doin' round here"
"I know you wanted to go play ball"
"but it'll have to wait"
"There's just some things you can't put off"
"Or you'll lose 'em all some day"

CHORUS
You'd better start mending fences
It's giving it all you've got down in the trenches
Take care of what you've got at home
Or you'll wake up and find it gone
That's the price you pay for taking chances
And not mending fences

VERSE 2
I turned the key and opened the door and said "Honey I'm home"
Her wedding band on the kitchen floor told me something was wrong
I went out back and hit my knees
And a voice I hadn't heard in years
Said "Son if you wanna get her back"
"There's lots of work needs doin' 'round here"

CHORUS
You'd better start mending fences
It's giving it all you've got down in the trenches
Take care of what you've got at home
Or you'll wake up and find it gone
That's the price you pay for taking chances
And not mending fences

TAG
Better start mending fences ( mending fences )
You better start mending fences ( mending fences )
