Hey there, country man, sitting on a log
Swatting at a fly to pass
Away the time of day
Hey there, country man, did you slap the hog?
Jesse chewed the line and now
He's gone and run away

In the middle of the road, now
Tell me what you got to say
In the middle of the road
Show me, I don't know the way

There's a war going on
In another man's land
And we're going other there to
Give a helping hand so they say
But a mother
A father who needs a helping hand
Gets a short stay in jail and I'm a-sorry
Ma'am go away
Hey

Hey there, country man, waiting out your time
Time is growing short and I
May never pass no more
Hey there, country man
Don't forget the line
Charlie found the mule and got
Him at the country store

In the middle of the road, now
Tell me what you got to say
In the middle of the road
Show me, I don't know the way

There's a war going on
In another man's land
And we're going other there to
Give a helping hand so they say
But a mother
A father who needs a helping hand
Gets a short stay in jail and I'm a-sorry
Ma'am go away
Hey

In the middle of the road, now
Tell me what you got to say
In the middle of the road
Show me, I don't know the way

Hey there, country man, sitting on a log
Swatting at a fly to pass
Away the time of day
Hey there, country man, did you slap the hog?
Jesse chewed the line and now
He's gone and run away
