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
