Henry, you're always fighting
Fighting smoke, fighting fire

Hey look at the sign
it says three for a dime, toss the rings, friend
did you win again?
come see my show, hey, have another go
I'll show you around
just let me skin your town

Henry, you just let go (tray holds ash)
You're on the back road taking that soul home (father the dirt)

Henry, forget the bad days (carry the ice, carry the coal)
Lay off the whiskey and bask in the sun's rays (shot and a beer)

That dog barks at the road
the window's down, I ain't cold
why ya driving so fast?
slow down, it won't last
you cut a fish in half
and we laughed and laughed
