Lyrics
Get Off My Lawn
Verse 1
An old bull, beyond my prime
I need a young thing one last time
She gave a wink, or was it a dream?
Gave a me rise to my self-esteem.
Verse 2
A younger man tried to make his play
She dipped her chin and looked my way
I stepped in between, I didn?t think
The boy backed off, it was just the drink.
CHORUS
Get off my lawn, my sacred ground
You jumped the fence, ignored the sign
This old man won?t be pushed around
This tender grass is mine
Get off my land, you?re out of bounds
You?re on my turf, over the line
I?ll run the hose, release the hounds
This heaven on earth is mine, mine, mine.
Verse 3
She?s out of hand, I?m in a rut
Like fire and ice, I?m cold and she?s hot:
An old dog to her frisky pup,
I wonder how long I can keep this up.
Verse 4
She gave her best and knocked me back
Put me at risk of another heart attack.
But back I came, from over the hill
With the help of my little blue power pill
CHORUS
