Lyrics
The Pony Song (six of one)
© brooks
Do I grudge 'em an inch
Or roll out a mile
Shoot 'em the finger
Or flash 'em a smile
Would somebody show me
Which way that I outta go
Do I take the high road
Or the low?
My dead brother's
Wife is looking pretty good
He left her lots of money
Every acre that he could
Funny, she don't seems so sad
You know she smiles when I come around
And he's only half a month
In the ground
Six of one
Half a dozen of the other
We're all gonna die
So why even bother to choose
My employer well he drinks
Ttill he passes out
Never locks up the payroll
Just collapses on the couch
I'm looking in that big ole' safe
And I'm thinking about the road
Do I tuck him in
Or slit his throat?
Six of one
Half a dozen of the other
We're all gonna die
So why even bother to choose
Staring at the doctor through matching cannons
On his oak desk
I'm chilled without my shirt and coat
Doc, what's growing in my chest?
Looking up from his paperwork
He said, Son it's the same thing that got your brother
Son, do you need a gun
Or would you rather smother?
Six of one
Half a dozen of the other
We're all gonna die
So why even bother to choose
