Story behind the song
A song about knowing your boundaries.
Lyrics
Property Line
© 2010 Janice Hopkins/Carolyn Taylor White,Greg Fritsch
Verse 1
She was a mean ‘ole Bulldog you couldn’t muzzle
Lived next door to her an’ the kids called her trouble
I didn’t pay no mind to her yappin’ ‘til one time
She claimed my fence sat on her property line
Verse 2
I grabbed the wooden post dividin’ our land
She lunged for my arm an’ shook it from my hand
The cops showed up, it didn’t go down well
‘Fore I knew what hit me I was hauled off to jail
Chorus 1
How was I to know Your Honor’s daughter lived by me
She’d been wagging tales up and down our street
I wasn’t rollin’ over, knew the land was rightly mine
That bitch wasn’t gonna get an inch of my Property Line
Verse 3
Next day my surveyor showed up in the street
Sat up all his gear and guess who he got to meet
She squared off and knocked him right to the ground
She was actin’ madder than two rabid hounds
Verse 4
Now there’s a bunch of daisies circling my land
Marking my territory from beginnin’ to end
An’ I ain’t seen that snoopy neighbor ever since
Buried her ‘ole bones in that ditch by my fence
Chorus 2
How was I to know Your Honor’s daughter lived by me
She’d been wagging tales up and down the street
He doesn’t need to know she’s where the sun don’t shine
That bitch finally got an inch of that Property Line
Spoken lines….
Then Bridge:
My neighbors on the other side
Said boy give her the foot, end the fight
I grabbed my shovel that night, I was out to set things right,…I set ‘em right
Spoken: Daisies an’ flowees ain’t bloomed so good in ages….my goodness
Chorus 3:
How was I to know Your Honor’s daughter lived by me
She’d been wagging tales up and down the street
He doesn’t need to know she’s where the sun don’t shine
An’ the bitch finally got an inch of the Property Line
Tag:
I’d say she is the Property Line now…hmmmm
Hey, hey you kids….get outta there…don’t be diggin’ in there….yeah, that’s it….
