Flesh And Blood

There are secrets

In the soul of me

Things I keep inside

Places you will never see

Hidden under lock and key

Flesh and blood and skin and bone

You're looking from the outside in

All you'll see is what you're shown

Flesh and blood and skin and bone

It's par for the course

It's a matter of fact

People are all the same

They want to make

My business theirs

Slandering my good name

All around my neighborhood

People trying to say

That I ain't no good

Pointing their finger

At me and mine

Look at what's hanging

On my clothesline

Flesh and blood and skin and bone

What's mine is mine is mine alone

Stand at the window on your tippy toes

Blinds are down, skin and bone

Ashes come to ashes

Dust becomes to dust

My secret soul will never die

As my body surely must

When I'm buried under the ground

I'll still be here in kind

Invisible and sinister

The things I leave behind

Flesh and bone and skin and blood

Bury me deep beneath the mud

When I die only thing that's gone

Flesh and blood, skin and bone.
