Have you heard my story It's all over town I had the love of a real fine girl I let her down She loved and she trusted I could not be true Now I'm drownin' in a river of love I don't know what I'll do I paid a real high price for my wanderin' eye Here's a priceless piece of advice Before your well goes dry Water your own yard Water your own yard When the other man's grass looks greener Water your own yard I started slippin' Started messin' around, after dark She called me, told me come on over Showed me right where to park It was then that I stumbled It was then that I fell I threw everything that I owned Into the wishin' well I paid a real high price for my wandering' eye Here's a priceless piece of advice Before your well goes dry Water your own yard Water your own yard When the other man's grass looks greener Water your own yard I wouldn't listen I just couldn't conceive I paid no attention to love Reachin' out for me I went lookin' for the greener grass With no water in my well Now I'm sittin' on the bottom With a bucket and a story to tell I paid a real high price for my wanderin' eye Here's a priceless piece of advice Before your well goes dry Water your own yard Water your own yard When the other man's grass looks greener Water your own yard When the other man's grass looks greener Water your own yard
