Thank you.
Well, I couldn't finish this record until I wrote one too, you know, so
actually I was doing a movie at the same time.
It's not like I do a movie every
day, you know.
Every once in a while they ask me to do a, I've done two movies, okay,
just two, and I played the same character in both of them.
I was the brother-in-law
with low self-esteem, so you know if you're writing a script or something and
you got that character, just call on me.
I know how to do it.
I was in this movie
at the time with Billy Bob Thornton, and me and Billy Bob were played brothers in
it.
Our dad was Andy Griffith.
That would make me Opie's stepbrother, which I don't
mind, especially at Thanksgiving.
[D] Anyway, Billy Bob said, you're gonna write a song
for this movie, something we can play at the end and roll the [C#] credits over it.
I thought, God, that's just what I want my song to do, you know.
[D]
So I did.
I came up
with one and based it on the characters in the movie, and of course they'd never
released the movie.
It went straight to Blockbuster.
[G]
But me and Iris, we're real
fond of it, [A] and we hope [D] you are too.
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[E]
[D]
[G] He ain't real sharp but he gets things done.
[D] Drinks his beer like it's oxygen.
[A] He's my [E] baby and I'm his honey.
Never gonna [D] let him go.
In spite of [G] ourselves, we'll end up sitting on a rainbow.
[A] Against all odds, honey, we're
the big [D] door prize.
And [G] we're gonna spite our noses right [D] off of our faces.
There won't
be nothing [A] but big old hearts dancing in [D] our eyes.
She thinks all my jokes are corny.
Convict movies make her horny.
[G] She likes her ketchup on her scrambled [D] eggs.
Swears like
a sailor when she shaves her legs.
[A] She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
I'm never
gonna let [D] her go.
Well he's got more balls than a big brass monkey.
He's a white-doll
were-a bug junkie.
[G] Fly as a fox, crazy as a [D] moon.
Hey, there he comes and he's a-howlin'
at the [A] moon.
He's my baby, I don't mean maybe.
Never gonna let him [D] go.
In spite of [G] ourselves, we'll end up sitting [D] on a rainbow.
[A] Against all odds, honey, we're
the [D] big door prize.
And we're gonna [G] spite our noses right off of [D] our faces.
There won't
be nothing [A] but big old hearts dancing [D] in our eyes.
There won't be nothing but [A] big old hearts
[D] dancing in our eyes.
