"Fight"

When you're tired of getting everything wrong

And you're willing to put up a fight

Just write yourself a good country song

And things should start coming out right.

"Bump"

When I make my move to Paducah

   (gathering things in the still of the night)

I'll bring with me my bazooka

   (for things that go bump in the night).

"Blue"

When I build my cabin in Kentucky

To take after Daniel Boone

I'll learn how to be happy-go-lucky

Staring at the blue moon.

"Protest"

Algae in the Reflecting Pool

Is certainly cause for protest

But invasive plant life, as a rule

Often makes a stubborn guest.

"Run"

When you're an oyster farmer

With your mother your only client

Perhaps you should run for Senate

   (if the voters are suppliant).
