Howdy Do

I bet somebody

Roughed you up good

I bet you come from

A tough old neighborhood

Ain't that a fine

Ain't that a fine

Howdy do

I bet they shut you down

Before you could talk

I bet they turned you out

Before you ever learn to walk

Ain't that a fine

Ain't that a fine

Howdy do

I bet you paid a pretty penny

For someone else's tears

I bet the hurt goes back

At least a thousand years

I bet they never let you

Have your say

I bet you always felt like

You were just in the way

Ain't that a fine

Ain't that a fine

Howdy do

Now if it don't set you free

It ain't worth a dime

If I was a petty gambler

Hell I'd win every time

I bet they broke some things

You can't replace

I bet the truth you know

Gets thrown back in your face oh

Ain't that a fine

Ain't that a fine

Howdy do
