Hangin’ on a Cross All Day
Hangin’ in the mornin' sun
I'll be hangin' when the evenin' come
Four big nails driven in
Wrists and feet they did pin, yeah
I’m hangin’ on a cross all the day
Writhing about in every way
Ohh, I'm sufferin’ on that cross all day
Cryin' time
I left my home in ‘sota
Headin’ down Missouri way
For a restful time at the Treehouse
Thinking my troubles gonna wash away
At the airport Tree met me yesterday
Shiny red Mustang, interior gray
“Ooh, Tree, I’d like to drive if I may?”
Risky times
Looks like nothing's gonna change
For wrecking his Mustang I’m to blame
A red stop sign I blew right through
I guess I wasn’t on my game, yeah
Hangin’ here resting my bones
For damaging Tree’s ‘stang I must atone
“It's only a fender dent”, I moaned
Enough to make this cross my home, he replied
Now, crucified is the penalty I must pay
Watching my life fade away
Ooh-wee, a hangin’ nude on a cross all day
Cryin' time
Apologies to Otis Redding
(And to @thehangingtree )
