Fire hydrant No 79 standin' on the corner by the no-parking sign
You're the only friend I got in Nashville Tennessee
You work for the city in the rain and in the fog
Gettin' no respect from the neighborhood dogs
And when I sing you're the only thing that listens to me
Fire hydrant stumpy and red
I love you even though you got no hair on your head

Today I hocked my guitar to buy you and me a bottle of wine
Well I'm goin' away cause you'll never be mine
I know you're in love with the no-parking sign
Well I'm gonna miss you fire hydrant No 79

[ guitar ]
Fire hydrant built like a jug
When I'm feelin' low you're always good for a plug

Today I hocked my guitar...
I'm gonna miss you fire hydrant No 79 (oh it's beautiful)
I'm gonna miss you fire hydrant No 79
