Fixed the Fence

I finally fixed the fence

You'd say "Baby, can you get to it this weekend"
I'd say "Sure," and I'd go fishing with the boys
You'd say "Can we get the leak fixed in the kitchen"
I'd say "Later," and I'd turn up all the noise
Now the cows are staying where they're supposed to
And the kitchen doesn't drip into a pail
I'm working on the truck and on myself too
Guess a man learns when a good thing fails

Took me losing you
To find the man you saw
Took me losing you
To stand up tall

I finally fixed the fence
You asked me for a year
Paid the tax and called my mama
I finally fixed the fence

Fixed the fence
(Finally)
Fixed the fence

I quit the drinking on a Tuesday back in August
Started going to the church you used to love
Tell the preacher that I'm doing better
Ask the good Lord for a little bit of luck
If you ever drive by on the county road
Look at the posts, they're straight and they're strong
Hope you know I learned the lesson
I just learned it after you were gone

Took me losing you
To find the man you saw
Took me losing you
To stand up tall

I finally fixed the fence
You asked me for a year
Paid the tax and called my mama
I finally fixed the fence

Every post
I set it straight
Every nail
A little late
Every post
Too late

I finally fixed the fence
You asked me for a year
Paid the tax and called my mama
I finally fixed the fence

Fixed the fence

I finally fixed the fence

I finally fixed the fence
I finally fixed the fence

Fixed the fence
(Finally)
Fixed the fence

Fixed the fence
(Finally)
Fixed the fence
