There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Pete: A great high wall there that tried to stop me

Sign was painted, it said private property;
Pete: A great big sign there said private property

But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
Pete: But on the other side, it didn’t say nothing

That side was made for you and me.
Pete: That side was made for you and me.
