I Wrote The Book

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] If you wanna learn to throw a curve right To catch a clean up lookin' on a third strike Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back Yeah, I wrote the book [Chorus] But there's one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand One that says don't cuss and don't fight Or let the bottle turn you into a different man But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line I'm a Jack of all trades but man I gotta say That's one book I didn't write [Verse 3] I met a good girl she had her life straight She said she loved that I was good at everythin' One day she left me in a cloud of dust 'Cause I never was too good at pickin' up [Chorus] The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand The one that says don't cuss and don't fight Or let the bottle turn you into a different man But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line I'm a Jack of all trades but man I gotta say That's one book I didn't write [Bridge] Yeah, the good Lord knows I need it I didn't write it but I probably oughta read it [Chorus] The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand One that says don't cuss and don't fight Or let the bottle turn you into a different man But damn if I don't do it every Friday night Those get you into Heaven letters in red Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line I'm a Jack of all trades 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
