VERSE 1
Am
Have you heard my story, Its all over town
E Am
I had the love of a real fine girl and I let her down
Am
She loved and she trusted, I could not be true
E Am
Now I’m drowning in a river of love, I don’t know what I’ll do
D C Am E
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
D C Am E
It’s a priceless piece of advice before all goes dry
CHORUS
Am
Water your own yard
Am
Water your own yard
E Am
When the other mans grass looks greener water your own yard
VERSE 2
I started slippin, started messin’ round after dark
She called and told me come on over, showed me right where to park
And it was then that I stumbled
And it was then that I fell
I threw everything that I own into the wishing well
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
It’s a priceless piece of advice before your well goes dry
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I wouldn’t listen, I just couldn’t conceive
And I’m paying no attention to love reaching out for me
I went looking for greener grass, with no water in my well
Now I’m sitting on a bottle with a bucket and a story to tell
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
It’s a priceless piece of advice before your well goes dry
