Lyrics
He's got a roll of rusty wire, a big 'ol T-post driver
He had some pride but he don't know where it went
He's got a set of post hole diggers, it's hard for him to figure
How he wound up out here building fences
He hired on as a rider, but now they've got him stretching wire
That wind is cold and he thinks it's gonna' rain
In this hard and rocky ground, you can't hardly
Pound these T-poles down
This kind of work just goes against his grain
He's got those fence building blues
Quite a blow to his ego
He's wearing low heel shoes
And he's out here with those fence building blues
Now the boss said get it done, but these 'ol cross-ties weigh a ton
And he thinks he's left his pliers in the barn
He's using yellow wire stretchers, mr. you can betcha'
This ol' tamping bar is wearing out his arm
He's got those fence building blues
Quite a blow to his ego
He's wearing low heel shoes
And he's out here with those fence building blues
This ain't the western dream, it's insulting it's demeaning
It's enough to make an ol' cowboy whine
They didn't even leave him a beer, hell he'd quit
But there ain't nobody out here
And that truck ain't coming back 'till supper time
He's got those fence building blues
Quite a blow to his ego
He's wearing low heel shoes
And he's out here with those fence building blues
Yeah he's out here with those fence building blues
