[Intro]
C G
F C G
F G C F
C G C
[Verse 1]
C G C G
She asked me to dance and then she paused, she was a neighborhood local at her local bar
F G C F
With shoulder length brown hair and an accent I found fairly rare
C G C
One part country one part urban thug, total fox
[Verse 2]
C G C G
I was out of my element, new to the neighborhood and clearly lacking friends
F G C F
Just adding to the mess of white ball caps and red keg cups
C G C
Dropping home values and raising rent
[Verse 3]
C G C G
After the pause things became confusing, she asked "are you a real man or a college student?"
F G C F
I did not know what to say, I'd started school that very day
C G C
Which is nothing but a big business I suppose
[Verse 4]
C G C G
Right then and there my heart did drop, she turned and walked away without a second thought
F G
I should have listened to my dad
C F
When he said "work with your hands not your head
C G C
And your billfold will stay full and you won't be paying out debt"
[Verse 5]
C G C G
So men the purpose of this song, is to go ahead and pass my father's wisdom on
F G C F
Go on and callous up them hands, learns some knots and turn a wrench
C G C
Cause in four years there won't be any jobs left, anyway
[Verse 6]
C G
If I'd taken my old man's advice
C G
I might be laid up in the bed beside that fox tonight
F G C F
Instead my mouth tastes like jello shooters and i'm lurking here on this darn computer
C G C
Well man that's all I've got, goodnight
