Traditional Songs

My Traditional Songs are for those that want to release tracks with a more classic feel. This genre is making a big comeback, with artists like Lainey Wilson, Jon Pardi, Miranda Lambert, and Justin Moore, blazing a new trail. My lyrics here will focus more on traditional American values, nostalgia, cowboys, and old-school honky tonk themes. I also include songs that are more tongue and cheek in this category.

Please contact me for sample tempos, instrumentals, and a capellas of each chorus.

Full Song Lyrics

  • I’m not well trained,

    I need to be broken in,

    Living on that free range all day,

    Got me buckin’ and ready to sin.

    I’m a purebred, a stallion,

    Got that 300 horse hemi v-8,

    I’m a mustang, a colt,

    Got that stamina on any date.

    Hey baby, I got something to confess,

    Let me get it off my chest, here it goes,

    You’re not the first redhead I dream about in bed,

    Oh no, no, no.

    The first time I fell in love, was at that car show,

    With that ‘66 red Bronco,

    That ‘66 red Bronco.

    No roof on my head,

    No doors to be found,

    Got that spare in the back,

    And that chrome all around.

    Bucket seat in front,

    Bench seat in back,

    Got room for a good boy,

    And for fun in the sack.

    Hey baby, I got something to confess,

    Let me get it off my chest, here it goes,

    You’re not the first redhead I dream about in bed,

    Oh no, no, no.

    The first time I fell in love, was at that car show,

    With that ‘66 red Bronco,

    That ‘66 red Bronco.

    Unlike that other girl in my life, this carpet matches the drapes,

    It can take a lot of bumps in the road and lets me play cassette tapes,

    Fire engine hue like tigers blood, running all night through my head,

    Yea, it’s got me seein’ red.

    That’s why the time I fell in love, was at that car show,

    With that ‘66 red Bronco,

    That ‘66 red Bronco.

    I’m a purebred, a stallion,

    I need to be broken in,

    Living on that free range all day,

    Got me buckin’ and ready to sin.

    You might be thinking in black, blue or yellow,

    I’m in right here in bed just dreamin’ in red,

    About that ‘66 Bronco,

    That ‘66 Bronco.

    Yea, I’m right here in bed just dreamin’ in red,

    About that ‘66 Bronco,

    That ‘66 red Bronco.

  • Johnny, and Reeba, and Dolly, and Hank,

    This late night boogie don’t break the bank,

    Garth, and Patsy, and Brooks and Dunn,

    Tonight is about to get real fun,

    It’s this little small town’s Derby Day,

    We may even break out some Lady A.

    Gather round, put that whiskey on ice,

    We won’t make you sing freebird, more than twice,

    It’s time for a little smoky karaoke.

    The devil is looking for a soul to steal,

    Chowin’ down on a chicken fried country meal,

    While the thunder rolls, lightning strikes our wagon wheel,

    All my exes may live in the lonestar,

    But my mountain mama lives not too far,

    Down by the blue ridge, we’re islands in the stream,

    And I promise you, there won’t be no queen,

    Because when it’s smoky karaoke, we’re not a fan,

    We’d rather hear a little gambling man.

    So gather round, put that whiskey on ice,

    We won’t make you sing freebird, more than twice,

    It’s time for a little smoky karaoke.

    We don’t need no hotel california,

    Because we got heads and a boy from south georgia,

    Or any of wonderwall,

    You better leave that despacito at the mall,

    We got that burning ring of fire over here,

    We got 100 songs about whiskey and beer.

    Gather round, put that whiskey on ice,

    We won’t make you sing freebird, more than twice,

    It’s time for a little smoky karaoke.

    We’ll give you the oka-dokey,

    You’ll get a little late night pokey,

    When we doin’ smoky karaoke.

    We all gathered ‘round, got that whiskey on ice,

    We’ve all sung freebird once or twice,

    It’s time for a little smoky karaoke.

  • Hey there neighbor,

    And you won’t break the bank,

  • Don’t muzzle your man,

    Let him speak his mind,

    Let him say his peace,

    Whether mean or kind.

    Don’t muzzle your man,

    Let him talk for days,

    Let him roam free,

    Or his life will be a maze.

    ‘Cause when you muzzle your man,

    You better have a map,

    You better have a plan,

    When you’re on the run,

    When you’re on the lam.

    Don’t muzzle your man,

    Don’t put the safety on,

    Load it from the front,

    Get good or gone.

    Don’t muzzle your man,

    He knows a thing or two,

    Just let him vent,

    When he’s with his crew.

    ‘Cause when you muzzle your man,

    You better have a map,

    You better have a plan,

    When you’re on the run,

    When you’re on the lam.

    You muzzled your man,

    Sorry, he ain’t comin’ back,

    Yea that’s a fact,

    He’ll be out speakin’ his mind,

    Out in the woods,

    Out in the blind.

    You muzzled your man,

    Sorry, he’s gone for good,

    Yea, like he should,

    He’ll be five handles down,

    Out of site,

    Out of town.

    ‘Cause when you muzzle your man,

    You better have a map,

    You better have a plan,

    When you’re on the run,

    When you’re on the lam.

    Don’t muzzle your man.

    You better have a plan.

    Don’t muzzle your man.

    You’ll be on the run,

    You’ll be on the lam.

    No, don’t muzzle your man.

  • Don’t put your feet on your table,

    Wash up before supper time,

    Say please and thank you,

    Don’t ever commit no crime.

    Don’t say the lord's name in vain,

    Treat all life like your own,

    Always ask for forgiveness,

    Always pick up the phone.

    It’s ok to bleed sometimes,

    And shed a tear or two,

    Respect those who came before you,

    And the red, white, and blue.

    I’ll never forget what mama said,

    Yea, that’s what mama said,

    Before I went off to bed.

    Rollin’ round and round in my head,

    Those words that mama said.

    Don’t put your feet on your table,

    Wash your mouth out with soap,

    Won’t be no cussin’ in this house,

    Or an answer of yep or a nope.

    Do all your homework,

    Listen to what your teacher teaches,

    Be thankful for what you have,

    Listen to what the pastor preaches.

    You can reach for the stars,

    Grow up to be whatever you want to be,

    Don’t ever raise your hand to a woman,

    Only kneel when you’re down on one knee.

    I’ll never forget what daddy said,

    Yea, that’s what daddy said,

    Before I went off to bed.

    Rollin’ round and round in my head,

    Those words that daddy said.

    I got my own family now,

    I know I got big shoes to fill,

    Will I ever measure up,

    Will I ever climb the hill.

    I think about it,

    No I ain’t gonna lie,

    But it’s more thinking of you,

    That makes me wanna cry,

    And you know why,

    Yea, you know why

    So thank you mama,

    Thank you daddy,

    You made me the man that I am,

    I’m nowhere near perfect,

    But I do the best that I can.

    Still thinking about it,

    Rollin round in my head,

    As I lay here in bed,

    All those things that mama said,

    Those things that daddy said.

    Don’t put your feet on your table,

    Wash up before supper time,

    Say please and thank you,

    Don’t ever commit no crime.

    Those things that maa said,

    Those things that daddy said,

    Before I went off to bed.

    Before I went off to bed.

  • It was a nickel, for a pickle,

    And a dime, for soda with lime,

    You got your penny, met your friend Lenny,

    Rode bikes to waste some time,

    Found a dollar, and start to holler,

    We’re rich and it’s only nine.

    I think it’s about time,

    We bring back that five and dime,

    Bring back that five and dime.

    Because this inflation, has wrecked the nation,

    And we’re all moving too fast, don’t make it last,

    When by social, we meant with the postal,

    Man that time is in the past,

    Our only phone, had no ringtone,

    And still had a blast.

    I think it’s about time,

    We bring back that five and dime,

    Bring back that five and dime.

    It was a nickel, for a pickle,

    And a dime, for soda with lime,

    You got your penny, met your friend Lenny,

    Rode bikes to waste some time,

    Found a dollar, and start to holler,

    We’re rich and it’s only nine.

    That’s why, I think it’s about time,

    We bring back that five and dime,

    Oooo Oooo Ooooo Ooooo Oooo,

    That five and dime,

    That five and dime.

    That’s why, I think it’s about time,

    We bring back that five and dime,

    Oooo Oooo Ooooo Ooooo Oooo,

    That five and dime,

    That five and dime.

  • Left on the clothesline,

    Floatin’ there in the wind,

    With tumbleweeds blowin’ past my cheek,

    I’m howlin’ for you all night now baby,

    So let me look around the corner,

    Just let me take a peak.

    You nowhere to be seen now baby,

    Like an orphan on a church step,

    You nowhere around here baby,

    Promises given but never kept.

    Why, why, why’d you have to say goodbye,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry,

    All alone, with me, myself, and I,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry.

    Stranded on the platform,

    The train it’s left the tracks,

    Stranded in the rain now baby,

    The thunder booms and the lightning cracks.

    A little pleasure to go along with the pain,

    Those tumbleweeds don’t mind it dry,

    But they really hate the rain.

    Why, why, why’d you have to say goodbye,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry,

    All alone, with me, myself, and I,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry.

    Cry myself to sleep at night,

    With, you gone,

    Tears drip down into the ground,

    From dusk until the break of dawn,

    I cry from dusk until the break of dawn,

    Without you girl, I might as well be gone,

    Yea, so gone.

    Don’t hang me out to cry,

    No don’t hang me out to cry,

    These tears, they will never dry,

    No, they’ll never dry.

    I cry from dusk until the break of dawn,

    Without you girl, I might as well be gone,

    Yea, so gone.

    So why, why, why’d you have to say goodbye,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry,

    All alone, with me, myself, and I,

    You hang, hang, hang, me out to cry.

  • When they say chivalry is dead, well they might be right,

    When they say it’s all in your head, just dreams in the night,

    I say come back to bed, shut those eyes oh so tight,

    I say you’ve been misled, the golden apple is here for a bite.

    He’s frivolous, I’m chivalrous,

    Go on and take your pick,

    He’s cantankerous, I’m magnanimous,

    Sometimes you make me sick.

    When they say hard work pays off, well they might be right,

    When they say don’t be so soft, and it’s love at first site,

    I say the night is aloft, with stars that shine so bright.

    He’s superfluous, I’m industrious,

    Go on and be my guest,

    He’s duplicitous, I’m expeditious,

    Sometimes it’s for the best.

    When they say first impressions are lasting, well they might be right,

    When they say you’re straight out of central casting, they ain’t too bright,

    I say just try fasting, then you’ll see the light,

    He’s conspicuous, I’m prodigious,

    Go on and have some fun,

    He’s injudicious, I’m delicious,

    Sometimes a man is born to run.

    When they say good things come to those who wait, well they might be right,

    When they say it’s all waiting at heaven's gate, just await your plight,

    I say I won’t ever tempt fate, try as I might,

    He’s precipitous, I’m meticulous,

    Go on and leave real fast,

    He’s tempestuous, I’m harmonious,

    Sometimes it’s not meant to last.

    When they say fortune favors the bold, well they might be right,

    When they say to do as your told, well sometimes you must fight,

    I say to break the mold, stand taller than your height,

    He’s treacherous, I’m auspicious,

    Go on and have regrets,

    He’s scurrilous, I’m capacious,

    Sometimes it’s as good as it gets.

    He’s insidious, he’s fastidious,

    He’s ferocious, he’s atrocious,

    He’s salacious, he’s capacious.

    Damn he’s doing you wrong,

    What can I break through to you,

    Other than writing this song.

    Chivalry isn’t dead, they just aren’t right,

    When they say it’s all in your head, it’s not dreams in the night,

    It’s right in front instead, open and see the light.

    It’s right in front of you, open and see the light.

    It’s 9am and making too much noise,

    It’s 10am and rubbing his belly,

    Baby,now you see why,

    Being a dad makes me wanna’ cry,

    Ohhhh… I like my kid, but I LOVE my dog,

    I like my kid, but I LOVE my dog.

    It’s 12pm in the backseat of my truck,

    It’s 1pm those diapers cost a buck,

    It’s 2pm helping clear some brush,

    It’s 3pm that food it looks like mush,

    It’s 4pm time for a nappie,

    It’s 8pm chewing on a bone,

    It’s 9pm please mommy come home,

    It’s 10pm we’re doing some zoomies,

    Sixteen years later my little guy’s a man,

    Slinging that rock in front of thousands of fans,

    Taking care of grandma and helping out his pops,

    Dreaming one day of being one of the cops,

    Prom queen on one arm and mama on the other,

    Being the best little big brother.

    All this time you can see why,

    Being a dad makes me wanna’ cry,

    Because…I LOVE my kid and I LOVE my dog,

    Yes, I LOVE my kid and I LOVE my dog!

    Just like they should.

  • This is your captain speaking,

    We’re in for a rough landing,

    You all need to take your seat,

    Make sure you aren’t standing.

    Put your head between your knees,

    Make sure you breathe real slow,

    Say a few prayers,

    Be ready if you’re in the exit row.

    When we’re arm and arm, warm embrace of our feet,

    You’ll always have that life vest under your seat.

    Tear open the pouch,

    Slip it over your head,

    Wrap the straps around your waist,

    Like two pillows in bed.

    Head resting on my chest and abs.

    When we’re arm and arm, warm embrace of our feet,

    You’ll always have that life vest under your seat.

    Float with the warm sun on your skin,

    Waves crashing on your face,

    Waiting for that helicopter sound,

    You have that water activated light just in case.

    When we’re arm and arm, warm embrace of our feet,

    You’ll always have that life vest under your seat.

    I’ll be your safety valve,

    Tell that gal in 12A,

    Her man is on the radio,

    He’s got something to say.

    Hey baby, I’m with you,

    Make sure you breathe real slow,

    Say a few prayers,

    But know me and god are here if you go.

    Making baby noises,

    And attached at the hip,

    Hand feeding a delicious treat,

    With a whole lot of love,

    There is never no disguise.

  • Goin’ from Nash to Vegas for a weekend trip,

    Free like a bird, no baby attached to my hip,

    So me and the boys going to let it rip.

    Dreamin’ of those dice lookin’ oh so nice,

    Those 3am cuties to be more precise,

    But I just got a little surprise,

    I couldn’t believe my lyin’ eyes,

    It’s not the thing I ever wanted to see,

    Thank you for flying with us, you’ll be in 25b.

    Now I’ve got four hours to kill,

    Dave counting sheep in the exit row window sill,

    And me next to a truck driver named Bill,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    Let me tell you how bad it is,

    I’d rather be next to some Karen and her kids,

    ‘Cause I’m sitting here squeezed in between two fatties,

    Dripping special sauce in between two patties,

    And my boy Rico’s over there next to some baddies.

    Now I’ve got three hours to kill,

    Dave counting sheep in the exit row window sill,

    And me next to a truck driver named Bill,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    How the hell I get such bad luck,

    Bill sittin’ here tellin’ me ‘bout the brakes on his truck,

    And this other dude givin’ some candy a suck,

    While Rico’s over there with Jack and having a yuck.

    Now I’ve got two hours to kill,

    Dave counting sheep in the exit row window sill,

    And me next to a truck driver named Bill,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    Now I’ve got one hour to kill,

    Dave counting sheep in the exit row window sill,

    And me next to a truck driver named Bill.

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    Countin’ down the minutes and the seconds,

    My watch goes tick tick tick,

    Mr. pilot please make this landing stick stick stick,

    And need that short taxi, that gate so tantalizingly close,

    Only a few minutes until I get that sin city dose.

    But then I remember I’m in the back in 25b,

    What did I ever do to deserve this punishment to me,

    Now I’ve got thirty more minutes to kill,

    That means thirty more minutes with Bill.

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues,

    This ain’t gonna be news,

    I got that middle seat blues.

    That Sonoran senorita sitting under that blue light,

    Swinging from that dive with the 8-ball games,

    Flowery dress and sparkly shoes,

    Sultry spanish voice like you hear in the blues,

    Where this espousa been all of my life,

    For us gringos that will be my wife.

    Warm breeze through her hair,

    And not a care since seventeen,

    That Miss Nogales has a spell on me.

    Months gone by and that fire remains,

    Sunday nights ain’t never gonna’ be the same,

    Still think of that look in your eye ,

    When I knew you were my gal and me your guy,

    Sittin’ in the kitchen with that masa in hand,

    Smellin’ like roses from where I stand,

    Laughin’ ‘bout the look on my face,

    When you said you’re movin’ into my place.

  • Let me tell you a story about my uncle willy,

    You may think it’s frivolous,

    You may think it’s kind of silly.

    You see my uncle willy,

    He’s not what we would call urbane,

    He wore only one sock,

    In polite society he’s what you may call insane.

    He ran around with a girl or two,

    He didn’t care if they had red hair,

    Eyes were green or blue.

    He liked a little poker game,

    He smoke two packs a day,

    And could really roll a frame.

    You may think it’s where I get it from,

    But this story ain’t even finished,

    It ain’t even half-way done.

    My dear ol’ uncle willy,

    He drove a taxi cab in Philly,

    And knew a few shady characters in his day.

    My dear ol’ uncle willy,

    May have been a little what the kids call killy,

    And that’s all I’m ever going to say.

    My dear ol’ Uncle Willy could really cut a rug,

    He could run the billiards hall,

    And knew where all the ditches dug.

    Yea, he was really one of a kind,

    Until the last day,

    When he moved to Rio,

    Yea, when we lost his mind.

    But there’s a point to my story,

    With all its charm,

    With all its pizzazz,

    With all its glory.

    You see my uncle willy was not related by blood,

    He was born in a pigsty,

    Rolling around in the mud.

    Left on the front porch,

    Picked up by a nun,

    His mama loved to walk at nights,

    And have some fun.

    So I don’t want to hear no more,

    Don’t hang it over my head,

    Don’t talk about that poor ol’ man,

    Don’t talk bad about the dead.

    There’s a lot of blame to go around,

    I don’t want to hear another word,

    Don’t want to hear another sound.

    Blame it on Jack, Johnny, or my brother Billy,

    But please don’t blame my uncle Willy,

    Poor ol’ Uncle Willy.

    Yea, I don’t want to hear no more,

    Don’t hang it over my head,

    Don’t talk about that poor ol’ man,

    Don’t talk bad about the dead.

    Please don’t blame my uncle Willy,

    Poor ol’ Uncle Willy.

    Goodbye, Jack, Johnny, Jim,

    It’s been fun knowing you,

    Join my Uncle Willy.

    You’ll be my wam bam thank you man kinda gal.

  • I’ve seen a few westerns in my day,

    I’ve been on the strip,

    I’ve seen a few pit bosses,

    I’ve seen a six-shooter on their hip.

    I’ve got a bad feeling about this baby,

    I think something is a bit out of whack,

    They are onto you now baby,

    You keep on coming up in the black.

    You know what happens to card counters,

    You about to learn the same fate,

    When they catch them a card counter,

    They gonna’ give your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate,

    Your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate.

    Like those addictive slots,

    Every night around 2 or 3,

    I see your cell light up,

    Like a christmas tree,

    And you know what now baby,

    It ain’t comin’, from little ol’ me,

    No it ain’t comin’, from little ol’ me.

    You know what happens to card counters,

    You about to learn the same fate,

    When they catch them a card counter,

    They gonna’ make your cheatin’ heart, into some fishin’ bait,

    Your cheatin’ heart, into some fishin’ bait.

    I think you know what happens to card counters,

    I think you know all about it,

    Card countin’ is your specialty,

    This ain’t the first time,

    You’ve been cheatin’ on me,

    No this ain’t the first time,

    You’ve been cheatin’ on me.

    You know what happens to card counters,

    You about to learn the same fate,

    When they catch them a card counter,

    They gonna’ give your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate,

    Your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate.

    Yea , I think you know what happens to card counters,

    I think you know all about it,

    Card countin’ is your specialty,

    This ain’t the first time,

    You’ve been cheatin’ on me,

    No this ain’t the first time,

    You’ve been cheatin’ on me.

    You know what happens to card counters,

    You about to learn the same fate,

    When they catch them a card counter,

    They gonna’ give your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate,

    Your cheatin’ heart, a checkmate.

    I don’t have to see your cheatin’ heart no more,

    No more, no more, no more,

    Because card counters are kicked out that door,

    Get your ass out that door,

    And never return.

    You know what happens to card counters,

    You just learned the same fate,

    I caught me a card counter,

    And usin’ your cheatin’ heart, for some fishin’ bait,

    For some fishin’ bait.

  • I met a girl the other day,

    She told me about growing up,

    The old school way,

    It was about the time she turned sixteen,

    Looking oh so pretty,

    With that country sheen.

    Hey sweetie it’s time to have the talk,

    Grab your things, let’s have a walk,

    You see there’s something I need to explain,

    Like Deanie, something may drive you insane,

    You see, you’re about to be all grown up,

    You may find your soulmate, if you have some luck.

    But I want you to take something from me,

    Sometimes, love is not just what you can see,

    Sometimes, love is like a bird and a bee.

    Hey baby, let me fill you in,

    You can learn more from a country song,

    You think it needs to last all night long,

    Well let me tell you something honey,

    You learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    Yes, you learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    Sometimes life comes at you fast,

    Sometimes you just want to make it last,

    But the bluejay and the robin too,

    Sometimes feelin’ red, sometimes feelin’ blue,

    So be that worker bee,

    Shake what you got now just for me.

    Yea, be that worker bee,

    Shake what you got now just for me,

    And let me fill you in on a little secret,

    Just between the two of us.

    You can learn more from a country song,

    You think it needs to last all night long,

    Well let me tell you something honey,

    You learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    Yes, you learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    Hey baby, it ain’t your fault,

    No it ain’t your fault,

    That you learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    That you learned the birds and the bees all wrong.

    In the future, just take this advice,

    Be a little more naughty, and a little less nice,

    Or a lot less naughty and a lot more nice,

    Got me all tied up in knots,

    Maybe take your daddy’s sweet sixteen advice.

    And don’t listen to this country song,

    Try to go all night night long,

    Maybe I learned the bees all wrong,

    Maybe you’ve been right all along.

    The birds and the bees can be so wrong,

    Yes, the birds and the bees can be so wrong.

  • Let’s bring a little country to this city,

    I don’t mind if we do,

    Let’s put a little yee-haw in this cup of joe,

    A little giddy up,

    And away we go.

    Your skin is shining,

    You lookin’ oh so fine,

    You’re so Friday night pretty,

    Every guy so jealous,

    That you’re mine.

    Like a fish out of water,

    Like the devil out of hell,

    You bringing that country feelin’,

    You bringin’ that southern fried smell.

    So butter up that griddle on that small electric range,

    Neighbor’s never seen a fiddle,

    Hot damn this place is strange,

    You’re country livin’ in the city.

    Lace up those cowboy boots,

    Step on that dingy subway car,

    Say no thank you to brunch,

    ‘Cause Saturday, the tide rolls very far.

    Let’s bring a little country to this city,

    I don’t mind if we do,

    Let’s put a little yee-haw in this cup of joe,

    A little giddy up,

    Well let’s go.

    Like a fish out of water,

    Like the devil out of hell,

    You bringing that country feelin’,

    You bringin’ that southern fried smell.

    So butter up that griddle on that small electric range,

    Neighbor’s never seen a fiddle,

    Hot damn this place is strange,

    You’re country livin’ in the city.

    Let’s bring a little country to this city,

    So butter up that griddle on that small electric range,

    Neighbor’s never seen a fiddle,

    Hot damn this place is strange,

    You’re country livin’ in the city.

    You’re so Friday night pretty,

    Every day of the week,

    ‘Cause your country livin’ in the city,

    You’re country livin’ in the city.

    Let’s bring a little country to this city,

    I don’t mind if we do,

    Let’s put a little yee-haw in this cup of joe,

  • Three, two, two, two,

    Stuck on two,

    Need a one.

    I need a top of the rotation,

    And maybe you’re it,

    I need that game 7 clutch performance,

    A game winning base hit.

    But something tells me you’re stuck in the middle,

    Gonna have a nice long career,

    You got a good batting average,

    But ain’t imposing no fear.

    You keep it safer than a bank vault,

    Like a long highway drive for fun,

    All the sting it sinks away,

    Watch the coho on their winter run,

    Rip that scab open wide, no wider,

    Because you’re not not the one.

    We got a nice thing going here,

    And maybe that is ok,

    Maybe listen to my mama,

    Son, she can be the one one day.

    But I want that v8 hemi engine,

    I want that immediate spark,

    I want that 7th gear on the tranny,

    And not eco mode stuck in park.

    You keep it safer than a bank vault,

    Like a long highway drive for fun,

    All the sting it sinks away,

    Watch the coho on their winter run,

    Rip that scab open wide, no wider,

    Because you’re not not the one.

    Three, two, two, two,

    Stuck on two,

    Need a one.

    Maybe listen to mama,

    Son, she can be the one one day.

    Maybe listen to papa,

    Son, there’s only so many fish out in the bay.

    Three, two, two, two,

    Stuck on two,

    Maybe she is the one.

    You keep it safer than a bank vault,

    Like a long highway drive for fun,

    All the sting it sinks away,

    Watch the coho on their winter run,

    Rip that scab open wide, no wider,

    Because you’re not not the one.

    Maybe listen to mama,

    Son, she can be the one one day.

    Maybe listen to papa,

    Son, there’s only so many fish out in the bay.

    You keep it safer than a bank vault,

    And girl that could be ok,

    Maybe you’ll be the one one day,

    Yea, maybe girl you’ll be the one one day.
