old man walker's property

Lyrics

growing up in a little town where there's not a lot to do, no matter where you go troubles bound to run into you, there was only one water hole this side of the county line, the boys and me would hang our clothes on the no trespassing sign, we'd go swimming swinging from the tire in the tree, and we'd go fishing but we never caught anything, there was a chance we might get caught but we always got off scot-free, trespassing on old man walker's property, well the older the old man got the meaner he seemed to be, i could tell when our eyes met he didn't care to much for me, i remember on friday nights me and my girl would wait up late, when he'd turn off his front porch light we'd hop on over the gate, we'd go kissing underneath the cottonwood trees, and we'd go wishing on every star that we could see, there was a chance we might get caught but we always got off scot-free, trespassing on old man walker's property, not long ago i went back home for the labor day weekend, as i walked out of the store old man walker came walking in, he said i used to watch you one by one sneak under my gate, but i'd let ya'll play till your momma's said it was getting late, i'd come out a hollerin' and you boys would scatter and run, if you'd of known i was a teddy bear you wouldn't of had half the fun, i said you ol' son of a gun for all these years i thought you hated me, he said boy if that was true would i have hung a tire swing in the tree, hearing y'all laughing it really put a smile on my face, seeing y'all splashing really brightened up this place, there was a chance you might get caught but you always got off scot-free, trespassing on old man walker's propertypacked my bags and said my good-byes early that sunday evening, i drove down the old man's dirt road just as i was leaving, out there in that water hole were little boys like i used to be, trespassing on old man walker's property, trespassing on old man walker's property
