We Bury the Hatchet Lyrics by Garth Brooks

Ropin’ the Wind

1991

[Verse 1]
Hey, all the neighbors lights
Came on last night
Just like they do every time
We have a little fight
It's gettin' to the point
We can't get along
We're always fightin' 'bout things
That should be dead and gone

[Chorus]
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out
We're always diggin' up things
We should forget about
When it comes to forgivin'
Baby, there ain't no doubt
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out

[Verse 2]
Well, I was kissin' on Cindy
Hey, that I won't deny
But that's a long time ago
I let a dead dog lie
But if you want to cut deep
How about you and old Joe
I caught you down at the creek
Just ten years ago

[Chorus]
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out
We're always diggin' up things
We should forget about
When it comes to forgivin'
Baby, there ain't no doubt
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out

[Bridge]
Hey, we got enough on each other
To wage a full scale war
If we could ever remember
What we were fightin' for

[Chorus]
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out
We're always diggin' up things
We should forget about
When it comes to forgivin'
Baby, there ain't no doubt
We bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out

[Outro]
Woah, we bury the hatchet
But leave the handle stickin' out
