"Monument" lyrics - GENE PARSONS

I got a pig at home in a pen
And I got corn to feed him
I got a dog at home in the yard
And I got a stick to tease him

But we're trying to build a monument
To show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade
To cool the monument
To prove that we were here

I got a banjo and a wife
And I got the songs to please her
I got a little old house of trees
And I got the moon and stars to see

But we're trying to build a monument
To show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade
To cool the monumen
To prove that we were here

I got a banjo and a wife
And I got the songs to please her
I got a little old house of trees
And I got the moon and stars to see
