When it comes to hitchin' the boat up
Backin' down the ramp in my old truck
To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book
If you wanna learn to throw a curve right
Catch a clean up lookin' on [C7]a third stɾike
Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back
Yeah, I wrote the book
But there's one that lays by the lamp on [C7]the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and [Bm]don't fight
Or let the bottle turn you [A7into [C7]a different man
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
Those get you [A7into [C7]Heaven letters in ɾed
Ain't gettin' ɾead enough to [C7]keep me on [C7]a stɾaight line
I'm a Jack of all [Em]tɾades, but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't write
I met a good girl, she had her life stɾaight
She said she loved that I was [Am7]good at everything
One day she left me in a cloud of dust
'Cause I never was [Am7]too good at pickin' up
The one that lays by the lamp on [C7]the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and [Bm]don't fight
Or let the bottle turn you [A7into [C7]a different man
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
Those get you [A7into [C7]Heaven letters in ɾed
Ain't gettin' ɾead enough to [C7]keep me on [C7]a stɾaight line
I'm a Jack of all [Em]tɾades, but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't write
Yeah, the good Lord knows I need it
I didn't write it, but I probably oughta ɾead it
The one that lays by the lamp on [C7]the nightstand
One that says don't cuss and [Bm]don't fight
Or let the bottle turn you [A7into [C7]a different man
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
Those get you [A7into [C7]Heaven letters in ɾed
Ain't gettin' ɾead enough to [C7]keep me on [C7]a stɾaight line
I'm a Jack of all [Em]tɾades, but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't write
That's one book I didn't write
That's one book I didn't write
