Taking down your neighbor won't take you any higher I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire I've never gotten taller makin' someone else feel small If you ain't got nothin' nice to say don't say nothin' 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 holies even slip from time to time We've all got dirty laundry hangin' 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 Pourin' salt in my sugar won't make yours any sweeter Pissin' in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener And 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
