I could be a little bitch
But I’d rather be a man
Ain’t gonna let no woman
Tell me who I am
Don’t know hang dang dibble
And I don’t really care
How she’s looking tonight
Or the way she cuts her hair
I’m gonna have another beer
I’m gonna play it where it lays
Till it all disappears
In a honey-colored haze
Don’t know hang dang dibble
And I don’t really care
If she found another lover
To take her everywhere
Don’t matter that she loved me
Like nobody ever did
Won’t get hung up on a feeling
Like a stupid little kid
Don’t know hang dang dibble
And I don’t really care
Living in the past
Won’t never get you anywhere

Everything I ever wanted
Showed up and it was you
Then you sighed and said
That you had other things to do…
I found myself a hole
And I filled my guts with rye
But I didn’t have
The decency to die
I soaked up so much hurtin
And I drank my soul dry
But I didn’t have
The decency to die
I fought with every fool
Who had a drink to buy
But I didn’t have
The decency to die
Puking blood and squirting mud
And breathing to be high
But I didn’t have
The decency to die
Today they see me healthy
They smile and wonder why
He didn’t have
The decency to die

My situation is kinda dire
Got rusty rims and baldy tires
Chewing gum and chicken wire
Keeping all my shit together
My well is dry, my luck is dryer
My crops are dead, my barn caught fire
I’m half foreclosed without a buyer
I ain’t dead but I’ve been better
Ain’t got much left
I’m still a man
I’m doing
Everything I can
My baby took a bus one day
And said she’d be back right away
She sent a letter yesterday
Saying where to send her stuff
I ain’t the type to kneel and pray
You’ll never hear me bitch and bray
But Lord them skies are awful gray
And things are looking tough
Ain’t got much left
I’m still a man
I’m doing
Everything I can

You were right and I was wrong
Now my life’s a country song
About a man who lost his wife
Wrecked his home and ruined his life
You were right and I was wrong
I lost the place where I belong
You found out—you said goodbye
I hate my wicked wayward eye
You were right and I was wrong
And everything I love is gone
Thought I could have a little fling
It wasn’t worth my wedding ring
You were right and I was wrong
You said be true or say so long
I tried to split my life in two
And eat my cake and have you too
You were right and I was wrong
I was weak and you’re so strong
I have to live with what I did
I miss my home—I miss my kids

I climbed a rope ladder
To your balcony
That was the place
You said you were gonna be
I found out later
You were way across town
You’re trying so hard
To put me in the ground
You’re always saying
It’s only you and me
But everybody knows
I’m just your Plan B
I had enough whiskey
To make a man drown
But you still haven’t got me
Under the ground
I ran into a wall
Cuz you said it was funny
I gave you my heart
I gave you my money
Stuck my head up my ass
To be your clown
But somehow I managed
To stay above ground
Finally figured out
You’re not the whole world
There’s over a billion
Available girls
The sky is blue
And the Earth is round
I got a nice girl
Keeping me above ground

He says his marriage
Is really a jail
I could rip her to shreds
With my fingernails
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She doesn’t even know
Who he really is
Would’ve left her long ago
If it wasn’t for the kids
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She’s a bitch and a hag
And a vampire shrew
She’s never gonna love him
The way I do
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
My life would be perfect
If it wasn’t for her
That spoiled little bitch
With her diamonds and pearls
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
Waiting just see him
Anytime I can
I’m never gonna stop
Fighting for my man
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time

Seven little words built the blade
Twisting like a steak knife
In my heart
I really like you for a friend
(I always knew this thing would end)
Seven little words that never fade
Echo like a foghorn
In my head
I really like you for a friend
(Now I have parties to attend)
Seven little words my hell made
Tearing like a buzzsaw
At my soul
I really like you for a friend
(It was amusing to pretend)

I lived a big lie
I was afraid of myself
Spent my time thinking
About everybody else
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow
I couldn’t take your love
Too much beauty and truth
I blamed it all on you
And I squandered my youth
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow
I’m rebuilding myself
Feeling better every day
Maybe we can get
A cup of coffee someday
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow

A million bloody teardrops
Drying out my soul
A thousand days without you
Ain’t no bottom of the hole
The only thing I have
Is nothing
The only thing I did
Was injure you
The only thing I feel
Is empty
Cuz you’re the only one
Who loved me true
I only know tomorrow
Will be sadder than today
I know I had it all
And I let it slip away
The only thing I have
Is freedom
The only thing I want
Is me and you
The only thing I do
Is break things
The only thing I know
Is I love you
