Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Taking down your neighbour won't take you any higher
I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire
I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small
If you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all
[Chorus]
Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
[Verse 2]
Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied
Most of us have cheated, the rest of us have tried
The holiest of holys even slip from time to time
We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line
[Chorus]
So, hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy, yeah
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
[Verse 3]
Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any sweeter
Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener and
I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes
So I'll just do me and honey, you can just do you (So, hoe)
[Chorus]
So, hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
