I know what they say about guys like me
I know I ain't twenty
And you ain't nineteen
I dogged around in the past and it bit me
Yes
It did
I know it's a crime to be so vulgar
But I think your daddy's name is Dale Gribble
And I don't need me another baby straddlin' the fence
Sugar
Lay your head on my bony chest
You know you're my favorite out of all the rest
This ain't a weed I'll smoke before it's time
And I know you're wantin' me to say them three words
Like you was a skinny little seventeen-year-old cowgirl
And I want to strangle it from the bottom of my cold
Wrinkled
Broken heart
And you know the part that grinds my gears even more
Is every sorry son of a bitch who writes those songs
But I know better
Baby
You oughta know
Every man with a heart dies with the unsaid words on their lips
Attached to a woman who never truly understood 'em the way Hank done said it
And she damned sure is gonna know when he's really gone 'cause
God damn it
I told you so
And I'm knowin' your daddy didn't tell you that
Just 'cause a young man got a set of knees sittin' on his cowboy Cadillac
Doesn't mean that he gon' settle in this town
And I know he lives with your Uncle Bill and Aunt Nancy
I know he thinks your name is Stubbie
But your name ain't Sparky
And when he tells you that he loves you
He don't mean right now
And he can pack up his dad's toolbox
Go 'head to Hell
Straight to jail
He ain't the kind of cowboy puttin' ribs
Mommies
And babies in the air like a ridden rodeo
And he's been fed this shit for so long
He don't even know
'Cause he ain't rode in on one such as me yet anyhow
And I know you want him to say them three words like I do
And I want him to say it too and stick to it like gorilla glue
Feelin' sure of it like Scooter in condo number nine
He don't know me well and he don't know you well enough
And men like that never
