[Verse 1]
I wish I could cut back, safe and sound
Maybe I would kick back, hang around
But lately I just chase my tail around
Hoping that God posts bail
[Chorus 1]
Bones in the yard
They're down there way too far
It’s like they were meant to stay a long, long time
I know they're mine
[Verse 2]
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
Lately I just drive the people out
Hoping that God might stay
[Chorus 2]
Bones in the yard
They're down there way too far
It’s like they were meant to stay a long, long time
I know they're mine
[Verse 3]
I wish I was a brass band making sound
Shiny like an old car, strong and loud
But lately I just pass by like a cloud
Hoping that God makes rain
[Chorus 3]
Bones in the yard
They're down there way too far
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
I know they're mine
[Outro: Fences & Cedric Bixler-Zavala
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
I know they're mine
I would grow grass, make a town
I know they're mine
I just drive the people out
I know they're mine
That God might stay
