Taking down your neighbour won't take you any higher I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small If you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied Most of us have cheated the rest of us have tried The holiest of the holy even slip from time to time We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line So hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes So I'll just do me and honey you can just do you So hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
