Briars and brush in the sunset's hush
There's never enough money
But there's bees in the she'd

Biting horse flies and wasps in the trough
Rolls of old fencing and bailing wire


You don't need to cry
There's no reason to cry
Sure it stings for a minute

But it all goes by, by

Beer in the fridge

Weed on the plate
Money down the sink
And nothing in the the bank


Popsicle sticks
Tears in the drive

You're a pretty penny baby
Don't you cry


You don't need to cry
There's no reason to cry
Sure it stings for a minute

But it all goes by, by

You don't need to cry

There's no reason to cry
Sure it stings for a minute
But it all goes by, by


Shining in the sun
A green water-hose

Cotton mouth hanging round the watering hole
Sticky pine splitting in the heat
Ear to wall and all you hear is bees


Traps and tack old paint cans
Next to Cameo's bridle

And all those bees in the shed.

You don't need to cry

There's no reason to cry
Sure it stings for a minute
But it all goes by, by
