Planted that tree when she was just three, and put down our own roots in this home

Years have gone by, laughed and we’ve cried, together how we all have grown

Please understand that saw in your hand is cutting down more than just wood

That sweet apple tree means more to me, oh reconsider if you could

It's worth more than dollars and cents, I hope you enjoy that damn fence

 

The apples not supposed to fall far from the tree

But we'll never know, you couldn't let it be

 

Limbs are hauled off, yard waste at the dump

I'm here just left with a stump

Your dirty hands sure need a rinse, I hope you enjoy that damn fence

 

Please understand that saw in your hand is cutting down more than just wood

That sweet apple tree means more to me, oh reconsider if you could

Some people they just have no sense, I hope you enjoy that damn fence
