Enough Rope Lyrics by Chris Knight
Chris Knight Lyrics
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up.
Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump.
If I had other plans on my graduation day,
Then several years ago I guess I hauled āem all away.
Yeah I hauled āem all away.
She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned 18.
I did what your supposed to do. I bought her a ring.
He didnāt have to ask us, but he asked us anyway.
We stood up and said, āI do.ā what else were we gonna say?
What else were we gonna say?
CHORUS
Well Iām thankful for the things I have,
And all the things I donāt.
And Iāve got dreams that will come true,
And Iāve got some that wonāt.
Most the time I just walk the line- wherever it goes.
āCuz you canāt hang yourself if you aināt got enough rope.
My boss man is the mayor, I do just what he asks
I mow the courthouse lawn watch the prisoners walkinā past
Iām happy to be working, instead of wearinā chains.
Like my cousin Willy, heās locked up in La Grange.
Heās locked up in La Grange.
CHORUS
But Iām thankful for the things I have,
And all the things I donāt.
And Iāve got dreams that will come true,
I got some that wonāt.
Most the time I just walk the line, wherever it goes
āCuz you canāt hang yourself if you aināt got enough rope.
SOLO ā 8M
Thereās a tavern down the highway, I go to drink some beers
And wash down all Iām missinā by hanginā around here
Then I drive back to the trailer; Iāll make up with my wife
I kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life
Yeah I get on with my life
