Curtains Lyrics

barry worked offshore for 25 years before he got smart and moved back to the mountains where he met tim who was an intern at a hospital this was in north carolina so weekends they?d go white water rafting in winter they?d be skiing they bought 5 acres way out in the woods built a cabin out of reclaimed timber and one day Barry said to Tim, ?i think we?re finally out of reach nobody?s looking over into our back yard except the birds and the bears and what do they care what we do or what we are we can lie around in the jacuzzi all morning crash on the couch and watch tv in the afternoon we don?t have to hang curtains on the windows in our bedroom we don?t have to hang curtains in our bedroom? Barry and Tim were a fine looking pair of men every woman in the county had her eye on one or both of them the ladies at the church were always collaring Barry saying ?a handsome man your age should be married by now? then that poacher who lived in a tar paper shack started trespassing and laying traps he said he was only hunting bear but Barry said ?Tim, we are fair game out here thought we were finally out of reach nobody looking over into our back yard...? out in the country you don?t see your neighbors but they are there they are watching you they have spies everywhere so you?re never really out of reach there?s always somebody looking over into your backyard curious like bears but scared of what you are you can lie around in the Jacuzzi all morning crash on the couch and watch TV in the afternoon but you have to hang curtains on the windows in your bedroom you have to hang curtains in every room
