[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
