| Out in the junkyard in the pines
|
| They’re working over time
|
| Hacking back them vines
|
| That are eating up their minds
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| We’re doing 30 in a 45
|
| Disregarding highway signs
|
| You learn to take your time
|
| Down south in the summertime
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| It ain’t no crime in being alive
|
| It ain’t no sin, we’re just trying to get by
|
| Lead our lives one day at a time
|
| Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
| Living on the fruit of the vine
|
| Now some say love come COD
|
| Others turn to G O D
|
| Cash it in on PCP, IOUs and IEDs
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| Scraps of paper in a tree
|
| Photographs and memories
|
| Train wrecks of tangled dreams
|
| Lives coming apart at the seams
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| It ain’t no crime in being alive
|
| It ain’t no sin, we’re just trying to get by
|
| Lead our lives one day at a time
|
| Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
| Just living on the fruit of the vine
|
| It ain’t no crime in being alive
|
| It ain’t no sin, we’re just trying to get by
|
| Lead our lives one day at a time
|
| Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
| Living on the fruit of the vine
|
| Now that old vine, it never sleeps
|
| And it strangles as it creeps
|
| Out in the junkyard in the pines
|
| Fall asleep and you will die
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| You think you’re gonna get your little piece of the sky
|
| Up in the sweet by and by?
|
| As for me I believe I’ll try to get mine before I die
|
| Fruit of the vine, that old fruit of the vine
|
| 'Cause it ain’t no crime in being alive
|
| It ain’t no sin, we’re just trying to get by
|
| Lead our lives one day at a time
|
| Hand to mouth, low down in the dirty old south
|
| Living on the fruit of the vine, living on the fruit of the vine
|
| Living on the fruit of the vine, living on the fruit of the vine |
