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 To catch a clean up Lookin´ on a third strike Talk a little smack While he´s walkin´ back Yeah, I wrote the book
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
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 âCause I never was too good at pickin´ up
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
Yeah the good Lord knows I need it I didn´t write it but I probably oughta read it
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
