Lyrics
We met at a dance, what a hot, hot, hot romance.
Oooh the girl of my dreams in tank top, heels, and jeans.
We held each other so tight, tight, tight, it weren't right.
Her green eyes were screamin on that steamin summer night.
The next thing I knew the preachers asking "DO YOU?"
Well I said "I do" and she said it too.
That's when the world come crashing down.
It was all but over, all but through.
That marriage was like a tornado.
Doomed right from the get go.
One thing I really, really, really, want to know is:
Where in hell did my house go?
The judge said "here's your rights, let me readum.
This is what'll take to buy your freedom".
He looked at me, he said "now hear my decree,
This is what'll take to get yourself free".
She got the best. The lawyers got the rest.
It was all gone, but this hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor
That's all that was left when she took what I owed her.
CHORUS
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's what was left when she took what I owed her
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's all I got, but now it's over.
INSTRUMENTAL (go over the top!)
Another man might get upset.
Sit at a bar, drink to forget.
Well I ain't got a single regret.
I got a fish on the line and the hook is set.
CHORUS
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's what was left when she took what I owed her
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's all I got, but now it's over.
You know that judge became a friend of mine.
You can find him on his boat, wetting a line
Cause he and his wife, they fell from grace.
And this is what happened at his court case.
"You take the car the dog the kids and the house"
That's what the judge told her.
"And you my friend, you get what's left.
You get the hook line sinker, rod reel, boat and motor"
CHORUS
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's what was left when she took what I owed her
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's all I got, but now it's over.
Tag
Hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and motor,
That's all I got, but now it's over.
