Story Behind The Song

Semi-autobiographical. We have a snake in our rather large shed that we have decided to leave in it's place. A woman from the nature preserve talked us into believing it is doing us a favor keeping down the rodents. It lives in an old box in the back of the shed and we get along fine. It is over six feet long.

Song Description

A fun romp. A man finds a snake in his shed and freaks out. The song doesn't use the word snake but it is implied in many fun ways.

Lyrics

I WAS OUT IN THE SHED ON SUNDAY
CAUSE HONEY DO SAID TO MOW BY MONDAY
BUT I JUST WASN'T QUITE PREPARED
TO SEE WHAT I WOULD SEE
WAS IT A GARDEN HOSE?
SOMETHIN' I BOUGHT AT LOWES?
I CAN'T QUITE SEE
CAN'T QUITE SEE

SOMETHIN' INSIDE OF ME FELT SO FUNNY
LIKE I'D BEEN GAMBLIN' AND LOSIN' MONEY
I REACHED OVER AND FLIPPED THE LIGHT
TO SEE WHAT I COULD SEE
THAT AIN'T NO GARDEN HOSE
NOTHIN' I BOUGHT AT LOWES
I DON'T BELIEVE
DON'T BELIEVE

NOW I'M AS TOUGH AS BULL BEEF
AT A CENT A POUND
ABOUT AS GOOD A MAN
AS THERE IS AROUND
BUT I AIN'T GOING BACK
INSIDE THAT SHED
THE GRASS CAN GROW AND GROW
TIL IT'S UP WAY PAST MY HEAD

I WAS OUT IN THE SHED ON SUNDAY
CAUSE HONEY DO SAID TO MOW BY MONDAY
BUT I JUST WASN'T QUITE PREPARED
TO SEE WHAT I WOULD SEE.

LEAD

NOW I'M AS TOUGH AS BULL BEEF
AT A CENT A POUND
ABOUT AS GOOD A MAN
AS THERE IS AROUND
BUT I AIN'T GOING BACK
INSIDE THAT SHED
THE GRASS CAN GROW AND GROW
TIL IT'S UP WAY PAST MY HEAD

NOW HONEY DO WANTS TO SELL THE HOUSE
IT'S EITHER THAT OR I LOSE A SPOUSE
MAYBE I'LL CALL THE COLUMBUS ZOO
THEY CAN HAVE THE THING FOR FREE
MAYBE SIX FEET WHO KNOWS
DO THEY SELL SOME TRAPS AT LOWES?
SOMEBODY PLEASE....
I SAID PLEASE...

I WAS OUT IN THE SHED ON SUNDAY
CAUSE HONEY DO SAID TO MOW BY MONDAY
BUT I JUST WASN'T QUITE PREPARED
TO SEE WHAT I WOULD SEE
TO SEE WHAT I WOULD SEE
