Monument Lyrics by Gene Parsons

Kindling

0

I got a pig at home in a pen and I got corn to feed him
I got a dog at home in the yard and I got a stick to tease him
But we're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air, and there won't be any shade
To cool the monument, to prove that we were here
I got a banjo and a wife and I got songs to please her
I got a little old house of trees and I got the moon and stars to see
But we're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air, and there won't be any shade
To cool the monument, to prove that we were here
I got a banjo and a wife and I got songs to please her
I got a little old house of trees and I got the moon and stars to see
