Liner Notes
This deserves a lower, more gravelly (and probably a bit twangy) voice than anything I can manage at the moment. If anyone feels like running my exhausted mumbling through some sort of filter to produce that effect, I will thank you.
I think I lost track of what I'd done before more than usual for this type of improv, but I'm recovering from a migraine and finding it hard to think at all. The phone ringing in the middle didn't help (although it did give me some instrumentation ideas, so there's that).
I saw a photo recently of strawberries growing from roof gutters, but I'm pretty sure they were no longer attached to a roof. You probably shouldn't go plant some in yours right now.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
Didn't they grow (out of the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out of the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out of the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out of the gutter)
[Verse 1]
You ever seen a rainbow out the gutter?
You ever seen the moon glow out the gutter?
You ever see a cat tiptoe
Is it up or down, he don't know
At my house the strawberries grow out the gutter
[Chorus]
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
[Verse 2]
You ever seen a tadpole out the gutter?
You ever heard the wind blow out the gutter?
You ever seen a young sheep mow
He don't know if it's high or low
At my house strawberries grow out the gutter
[Bridge]
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
C'mon, getcher gol-durn mind out the gutter
You ever seen a sailboat go
He don't know if it's high or low
As long as the rain waters flow
Out the gutter
[Chorus]
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
[Final Chorus]
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow (out the gutter)
Didn't they grow...
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
Out the gutter
[ad infinitum]
