Out in the junkyard in the pines
|
They're working over time
|
Hacking back them vines
|
That are eating up their minds
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
We're doing 30 in a 45
|
Disregarding highway signs
|
You learn to take your time
|
Down south in the summertime
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
It ain't no crime in being alive
|
It ain't no sin, we're just trying to get by
|
Lead our lives one day at a time
|
Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
Living on the fruit of the vine
|
|
Now some say love come COD
|
Others turn to G O D
|
Cash it in on PCP, IOUs and IEDs
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
Scraps of paper in a tree
|
Photographs and memories
|
Train wrecks of tangled dreams
|
Lives coming apart at the seams
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
It ain't no crime in being alive
|
It ain't no sin, we're just trying to get by
|
Lead our lives one day at a time
|
Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
Just living on the fruit of the vine
|
|
It ain't no crime in being alive
|
It ain't no sin, we're just trying to get by
|
Lead our lives one day at a time
|
Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
Living on the fruit of the vine
|
|
Now that old vine, it never sleeps
|
And it strangles as it creeps
|
Out in the junkyard in the pines
|
Fall asleep and you will die
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
You think you're gonna get your little piece of the sky
|
Up in the sweet by and by?
|
As for me I believe I'll try to get mine before I die
|
Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
|
'Cause it ain't no crime in being alive
|
It ain't no sin, we're just trying to get by
|
Lead our lives one day at a time
|
Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
Living on the fruit of the vine, living on the fruit of the vine
|
Living on the fruit of the vine, living on the fruit of the vine
|
