I've Cussed
 
I've cussed my thumb, I've cussed my toe.
I've cussed my horse when it won't go.
 
I've cussed the ground. I've cussed the sky.
I've cussed when I have told a lie.
 
I've cussed the sun. I've cussed the moon.
I've cussed when it was cold too soon.

I've cussed the stories on the news.

I've cussed when I have had to choose.
 
I've cussed when my old car broke down.
I've cussed the tow truck ride to town.
 
I've cussed because of things I've done.
I've cussed when I have lost someone.
 
But I never cussed my wife you see
'cause she might think of leaving me.
