Ain't it all only where I hang my hat? A Know it all only where I hang my hat?
Cause my hat know you all
Anywhere I make my home
I will my own two feet
move together
whether the weather
What ever moves me better
Than all the fours
In the crawling spaces
I a'fight
in
for my room of board
An' brick costs more
cause its' heavier
a' hold and bear
from anywhere
I'd not a been by
but here
'fore I choose
a light room
shed of simple board
Weathers better any weather
As
my crawling spaces weather
time
Alhough
not as lasting as simple
brick
resist
repel
the winds and rains
'ad somehow held up better
together
the brick and the wood
every other places
as my wooden crawling spaces
Exist better together
The brick and the wood
Anywhere brick earns
the same rates
As the wood
of my old weathered room
