Up in the morning, work like a dog

I know a fella, eats like a horse

Knocks his old balls around the old golf course

Elvis had a woman with a head like a rock

I wish I had a woman that made my knees knock

She'd sing like an angel and eat like a bird

And if I wrote a song, she'd know every single word

And if you take an inch, give them back a mile

Cause if you lie like a rug and you don't give a damn

You're never gonna be as happy as a clam

Sittin' in a hotel, trying to write a song

   D                     C             G
My head is just as empty as the day is long

G                         C
Why it's clear as a bell, I should have gone to school

    D                               C                G
I'd be wise as an owl, instead of stubborn as a mule
