Story Behind The Song
Was inspired one day to write something a little more traditional honky-tonk, something I could hear Shania Twain singing in the 90's.

Lyrics
what does it say about me
if i let you treat me
the way you treat your dirty old walkin' boots
darlin', who would I be
if I don't walk out your door and lose the key
honey, what would that say about me?
I've found phone numbers in your jeans pockets
from tramps who wrote it in their cheap lipstick
I've looked the other way for far too long
but now for the last time, you've done me wrong
chorus
I'd bet my dog you didn't mention me to her
before you left the bar in her 92 cavelier
don't bother lying, you've got some hell of a nerve
but you're about to get exactly what you deserve
chorus
I tried to be the girl you wanted me to be
but I guess I wasn't good enough, is she?
well, You can wash your own damn clothes and cook your meals
or don't, I don't care, cause I'm outta here
chorus
