And the memories keep flying high
and the mo ments go so slow
Cause I'm on both sides of the line
Bitter on the fruit, sweet on the rhyme
And I'm five kinds of senseless
Yeah, I got struck by lightning
And I was sad to see it go
Cause I'm on both sides of the line
I'm on both sides of the line,
bitter on the fruit and sweet
Well, I'm sittin' at the head
And the plates are up on sticks
And I'm spinnin' tales of woe
Cause I'm on both sides of the line
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the lime
And there once was an answer
But now I don't care to know
In the service of the question
Cause I'm almost out of my mind
I don't want both sides of the line
Dead or I'm true, sweet or I'm
with a mountain -ranging toe
Cause I'm on both sides of the line
Beer on the fruit, sweet on the line
And the fruits of my own labor
Bears the seed I'll never sow
Yeah, they cut down my pride,
but I was glad to see it go
Cause I'm on both sides of the line,
bitter on the fruit, sweet on the nut
I'm on both sides of the line,
