Lyrics Sweep Around Your Own Back Door - Roy Acuff

You know there are too many people trying to take care of
Others peoples business and they can't even take care of their own.
What you need to do is take six months to mind your own business
And six months to leave other folks business alone. All I'm trying to say is:

Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine
Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine

You smile in your neighbors face and talk about them behind their back
But if you found out they were doing the same thing to you, you know you
Would like that. Who are we to judge what other people do, take a look
At yourself and you could find some faults too.

Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine
Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine

Your always on the telphone puttin down on someone else
You need to take a little time, stop, look in the mirror and
Check your self. We all have sins that come short from gods
Glory today, So we don't have time to spread her say

Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine
Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine

Put love in your heart where there is hate, you need to clean it up
I wouldn't let it be said I waited to late, clean it up, stop going around
Talking about your friends, Don't you know that that's a sin
How can you critise some one else when you are doin wrong yourself.
Be careful how you through stones, because it might break up somebody's
Home

Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine
Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine
