STUPID ME
©2007 Johnnie A. Lawson

DIRT ROAD, LOCKED GATE
I WAS JUST TO ANXIOUS TO WAIT
SO I THOUGHT I'D DRIVE MY RIG AROUND THE GATE AND GO GET HER
WENT OFF THE BANK AND OVER THE SIDE
I BROKE MY LEG AND I DANG NEAR DIED
(I PEE'D MY PANTS AND I THOUGHT I'D DIED)
STUPID ME, YOU'D THINK, THAT I WOULD KNOW BETTER

ANOTHER GIRL, ANOTHER TIME
I SHOWED UP 'BOUT HALF PAST NINE
HER DAD'S STANDING ON THE PORCH WHEN I WENT TO GET HER
A BROKEN ARM, BUSTED TEETH
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT SHE WAS JUST SIXTEEN
STUPID ME, YOU'D THINK, THAT I WOULD KNOW BETTER

BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE, YOU JUST GET DUMB
AND YOUR HEART AND YOUR EYES GO BLIND
I SWEAR THERE AIN'T NO TURNING BACK
WHEN THERE'S A HOT GIRL ON YOUR MIND ...

AN OLDER GAL, DOWN AT THE BAR
SHE FOLLOWED ME OUT TO THE CAR
SHE SAID SHE WASN'T MARRIED AND WOULD FOOL AROUND IF I'D LET HER
TWO BUSTED RIBS AND A REAL BAD BEATING
HER HUSBAND, FINALLY, CAUGHT HER OUT CHEATING
STUPID ME, YOU'D THINK, THAT I WOULD KNOW BETTER

instrumental

WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE, YOU JUST GET DUMB
AND YOUR HEART AND YOUR EYES GO BLIND
I SWEAR THERE AIN'T NO TURNING BACK
WHEN THERE'S A HOT GIRL ON YOUR MIND ...

I GOT DRUNK LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
I FOUND A GAL WHO WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT
BUT FIRST SHE HAD TO GET MARRIED SO I THOUGHT THAT I'D LET HER
WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH HER BY MY SIDE
AND A ROOM FULL OF GIFTS TO THE GROOM AND BRIDE, OH
STUPID ME, YOU'D THINK THAT I WOULD KNOW BETTER
BUT, STUPID ME IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW .... (I SHOULDA HAD A V-8)
