DITCH IN THE YARD

I ain't gonna try no more
I ain't gonna try no more
I did all I could
there ain't nothing good I've got to show for
I ain't gonna try no more
 
I ain't gonna lie to you
I ain't gonna lie to you you lied to me
I could see right through
I ain't gonna lie to you
 
I ain't gonna love too hard
I ain't gonna love too hard cook in the kitchen
dig up a ditch in the yard
I ain't gonna love too hard
 
I ain't gonna drink no booze
I ain't gonna drink no booze there will be fights
there will be nights I lose
I ain't gonna drink no booze
 
I ain't gonna cry no tears
I ain't gonna cry no tears I accept my sentence
all of the consequences here
I ain't gonna cry no tears
 
I ain't gonna judge no deed
I ain't gonna judge no deed when everything changes
so do the ranges of need
I ain't gonna judge no deed
 
I ain't gonna die today
I ain't gonna die today a good friend once said
a hat tight on the head won't blow away
I ain't gonna die today
 
I ain't gonna live no dream
I ain't gonna live no dream you get your shot
find out it's not what it seems
I ain't gonna live no dream
 
I ain't gonna blame no girl
I ain't gonna blame no girl dignity and gold
both weighed and sold in this world
I ain't gonna blame no girl
