When it comes to hitching the boat up, backing [G] down the ramp [D] in my old truck, to find a bunch
of logs, to catch [G] a bunch of hogs, [D] yeah I wrote the book, yeah I wrote the book.
If you want to learn to throw a curve right, catch a [G] clean up [D] looking on a third strike,
talk a little smack, while he's [G] walking [D] back, yeah I wrote the book.
But there's one that lives by the lamp on the nightstand, one that says don't cuss and
don't [G] fight, or let the bottle turn you into a different man, but damn if I don't do it
every [D] Friday night, those get you in the head with letters in red, ain't getting mad enough
to keep [G] me on a straight line, I would deck a lot of trades, but man I gotta say, that's
one [D] book I didn't write.
I met a good girl, she had her life straight, she said she loved that I was good at everything,
one [G] day she left me in a cloud of dust, cause I never was too [D] good at picking up.
The one that lives by the lamp on the nightstand, one that says don't cuss and don't [G] fight,
or let the bottle turn you into a different man, but damn if I don't do it [D] every Friday
night, those get you in the head with letters in red, ain't getting mad enough to keep me
on [G] a straight line, I would deck a lot of trades, but man I gotta say, that's one book
I [D] didn't write.
[G] Yeah the [D] good Lord knows I need it, I didn't write it but [G] I probably ought to read it.
[D] The one that lives by the lamp on the nightstand, one that says don't cuss and don't [G] fight,
or let the bottle turn you into a different man, but damn if I don't [Am] do it every [D] Friday
night, those get you in the head with letters in red, ain't getting mad enough to keep [G] me
on a straight line, I would deck a lot of trades, but man I gotta say, that's one book
I [D] didn't write.
That's one book I didn't write.
