The lawn mower man paul woods
Did so many things for goods
He started on a mission to ride 4,500 miles
he saw hard times and smiles
he was turned at hotels
from Alaska to Virginia
this 44 yr old man
found nothing he couldn’t can
Montana south Dakota and Nebraska
had a few questions to ask ya
Cops would stop by everyday
Just to say hey
He was given a new mower
By now his mission is probably over
