Lyrics

She said oh meet me out the back when the sun goes down
I'm feeling kind'a lonely and the old mans out of town,
we'll hum a little tune like the coyotes do
may even sneek a peek at my little gold tattoo,
Momma used to say,better stay away from girls like you.

I had no one to teach me bout the bees and the birds
the preacher kept on saying there are three little words,
but she held me down,slapped me around and popped me a pill
and left me lying helpless like a texas road kill
Momma used to say,better stay away from girls like you.

Girls like you can send a man to an early grave
or beg like a sinner that the good lord forgave,
play the come and get me with perfume or a gun,
leave a man to die in the hot desert sun...Yer'

It took me by surprise when I had the upper hand
but you know who came back,to fry me in the pan,
treat a woman right was all I ever knew
I thought tonight she was miss right
to turn my grey sky blue,
Momma used to say,better stay away from girls like you.

Girls like you can send a man to an early grave
or beg like a sinner that the good lord forgave,
play the come and get me with perfume or a gun
leave a man to die in the hot desert sun...Yer'

But Momma use to say,better stay away from girls like you,
Yer' Momma used to say,better stay away from girls like you
Like you.....A ha

Classic country sound and feel.. Great story in the lyrics. I love it...

I can see the potential this song has. Catchy hook, good melody, great instrumentation. A real country song!

Clever lyrics, good vocal timbre and delivery. Nice bouncy feel. I like the short instrumental turnaround as a classy/classic stylistic element.

I love the song - Vocal, instruments, Everything very well done. Great Sound Great Mix - Very nice to listen to. It's hard not give it all 5's!!!! So that's what I have to do :) Great Job!!!

Has a great hook, marketable

Very polished sounds. Good arrangement and sense of contrast. It's a fun and jumpy instrumental. The vocal fits the style and song message well!

Love it!!! From the beginning I was captured!! Great flavor, lyrics, instrumentation & vice!!!

Cute tune...good twang!

Great catchy song, lyrics are great, foot tappin' tune. Good vocals too.

Really fun and uplifting country track with nice instrumentation and lyrical content.
Could be a hit TV show theme

Great voice and lyrics, I also like the backing vocals. good song

Great melody, lyrics & vocals! To the point and true some times. Cute story

everything i like in a country song. good tune good lyrics and good musicianship. is that a pedal steel i can hear? love it!

Funny that you mention "coyote" in the first line, I was thinking this song would be great for the cable show "Coyote Ugly" - good roadhouse song. The lyrics are cute and catchy. I think this will do well! Structure is great. Good luck!!

just missed being a killer. well sung and played. Hot recording. Just one problem...too long an intro
