When it comes to hitchin' the boat up
+
Backin' down the ramp in my old truck
+
To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs
+
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book
+
If you wanna learn to throw a curve right
+
Catch a clean up lookin' on a third strike
+
Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back
+
Yeah, I wrote the book
+
But there's one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
+
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
+
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
+
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
+
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
+
Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line
+
I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
+
That's one book I didn't write
+
I met a good girl, she had her life straight
+
She said she loved that I was good at everything
+
One day she left me in a cloud of dust
+
'Cause I never was too good at pickin' up
+
The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
+
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
+
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
+
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
+
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
+
Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line
+
I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
+
That's one book I didn't write
+
Yeah, the good Lord knows I need it
+
I didn't write it, but I probably oughta read it
+
The one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
+
One that says don't cuss and don't fight
+
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
+
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night
+
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
+
Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line
+
I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
+
That's one book I didn't write
+
That's one book I didn't write
+
That's one book I didn't write
