Wade Kimes/Garth Brooks)



Hey, all the neighbors lights

Came on last night

Just like they do every time

We have a little fight

It's gettin' to the point

We can't get along

We're always fighting about things

That should be dead and gone



CHORUS

We bury the hatchet

But leave the handle stickin' out

We're always diggin' up things

We should forget about

When it comes to forgettin'

Baby, there ain't no doubt

We bury the hatchet

But leave the handle sticking out



Well, I was kissing on Cindy

Hey, that I won't deny

But that's a long time ago

I let a dead dog lie

But if you want to cut deep

How 'bout you and ol' Joe

I caught you down at the creek

Just ten years ago



CHORUS



Hey, we got enough on each other

To wage a full scale war

If we could ever remember

What we were fightin' for



CHORUS



We bury the hatchet

But leave the handle stickin' out
