lyrics

The only thing that’s worth a salt
Is to be loved down to a fault
A lot of thing in the world may change
A lot of things may stay the same
But the only thing that’s worth a salt
Is to be loved down to a fault

Take the rings off of all of my fingers
Take the shirt from off of my back
For years all I could see
Was just what I did lack
Take the car from out of the driveway
Drive it off in to a lake
For years I was mistaken
Thought the car
A man did make
But the only thing that’s worth a salt
Is to be loved down to a fault

Take the pension and the promise
Take the framed and hung degree
Take the fancy education
You don’t learn what you need
Take the news from the tv screen
News from from far off place
I don’t care what it means
All I need is in front of me

A lot of things in the world may change
A lot of things will stay the same
But the only thing that’s worth a salt
Is to be loved down to a fault
