Well I was walking to my door I got stopped by neighbor He said something that made me sad He said something that made me mad You look pregnant like a woman When I look at your belly I'm wondering Are you pregnant like a woman? When I look at your belly I'm wondering Well what goes around it come back around I remember once when I was out of town I asked a woman, when are you due? That caused a really big hullabaloo Well you look pregnant like a woman When I look at your belly I'm wondering Are you pregnant like a woman? When I look at your belly I'm wondering You looking pregnant like a woman When I look at your belly I'm wondering Are you pregnant?

Free Time 02:09
Everybody’s talking about free time Well it seems that they don’t have much I’d like to give them just a little of mine Lately I’ve got more than I need Well I would give a little up For a little bit of your company I wanna get bogged down All tangled with you Take you out on Friday We can eat some Mexican food Oh well here I am All alone and blue With nothing but free, free time And no one to give it to I guess my time ain’t worth too much Look at my checks It oughta be a crime What they’re paying and what they’re getting From a guy like me I’m working hard oh well I don’t mind I’d rather work for cheap Than be bored in my free time I wanna get bogged down All tangled with you Take you out on Saturday Sunday lay around in the nude Oh well here I am All alone and blue With nothing but free, free time And no one to give it to

R-H-Y-T-H-M 02:04
Tammy Wynette knew how to spell D-I-V-O-R-C-E And if you talk to Travis he’ll smell you some T-R-O-U-B-L-E Even Garth and George Jones they went on a B, double E, double-R, U-N So I decided I’d jump on this country music spelling trend Well I got to thinking, I’ll tell you what, Rhythm is a word that I always mess up Spellchecker ain’t got no suggestions And that’s when you know you’ve got it all wrong So I’m gonna spell it in a song This here’s my secret weapon I’m gonna spell it for ya R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M Get rhythm! Well that’s how you do it that’s how it goes Spell a word in a song I suppose Indeed I’ve cured my rhythm spelling blues So I hope next time that you’re writing and typing And you stumble on rhythm just as fast as lightning You pull up this song, man, you could use it I’m gonna spell it for ya R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M R-H-Y-T-H-M

Stuck in a rut Jammed where I am You got to move on It’s the master plan Well the plan be damned The plan be damned Oh the plan be damned Sell it off They’ll buy all they can Cut it in half It’s supply, demand Well the plan be damned The plan be damned Oh the plan be damned Tear it down Haul it away You better rebuild Oh it’s better that way Well the plan be damned The plan be damned Oh the plan be damned

Never Learn 02:30
They say practice it makes perfect Well I’m not sure that that’s true I keep making the same mistakes No matter what I do Over and over no matter which way it is I turn If there’s one thing I’ve learned, I never learn Like asking my woman Did you take your meds? Well you’d think that I’d know better Instead of the many times I asked that one And things they didn’t really go too well for me If there’s one thing I’ve learned, I never learn I never learn to put the toilet seat down I never learn when the music’s up too loud I never learn hot chicken can hurt me I never learn, I never learn, I never learn Skipping a meal Before heading out to drink Well the hangovers hurts worse So you’d think I’d stop and think About the consequences, oh yeah, the morning misery If there’s one thing I’ve learned, I never learn I never learn to apply sunscreen I never learn the difference between red, brown and green I’m colorblind, aw now, don’t you make fun I never learn, I never learn, I never learn Practice makes perfect That ain’t true I keep making the same mistakes No matter what I do Over and over no matter which way it is I turn If there’s one thing I’ve learned, I never learn If there’s one thing I’ve learned I never learn I never learn I never learn I never learn

Life just keeps on slipping like water down the drain Tension keeps on building like a Music City crane Let it all go, let it all be I’d like to take your mind off it and put your mind on me I”d like to take your mind off it and put your mind on me Well you really shouldn’t stress it girl I mean honestly Let it all go you’ll feel much better you’ll see ‘Cause I can take your mind off it and put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me Oh so overwhelmed like the Lower Broadway You wanna slide in a car and just roll away Well I’ve got my motor running you can come along baby I’ll take your mind off it and put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me Put your mind on me

Do you wanna go slow or take it faster? You lookin’ for love, or is that not what you’re after? Do you want all those extra kisses? Or are you thinking let’s get down to business? You wanna play it safe, you wanna take a chance? Will you save me the last dance? We could leave shortly thereafter Do you wanna go slow, do you wanna take it faster? Do you wanna go slow, you wanna take it faster? You want it now or happily ever after Well it’s really all up to you what are you into? That’s exactly what we’ll do I am cool with whatever you decide We could hit it quick or I could spend the night Is it easy love you wanna make it harder I’m a fool for you you might be smarter We could keep it smooth or it disaster Do you wanna go slow, you wanna take it faster? We could keep it smooth or it disaster Do you wanna go slow… or take it faster?

What’s the worst thing I ever did to you Well it must have been cruel crushed your soul too You’re getting your revenge yeah you’re carrying it through Tell me what’s the worst thing I ever did to you It’s not like I’ve been kickin’ your dog Is it too much to ask that we have a little dialogue? Come on now What’s the worst thing I ever did to you Well it must have been cruel crushed your soul too You’re getting your revenge yeah you’re carrying it through Tell me what’s the worst thing I ever did to you It’s not like I’ve been hookin’ up with your mom Taking you on Jerry Springer just to drop the bomb What’s the worst thing I ever did to you Well it must have been cruel crushed your soul too You’re getting your revenge carrying it through Tell me what’s the worst thing I ever did to you Well you take away money and you take away car And you took the two kids and you took my heart And I’m sitting at the bar and I'm wondering where you are? You must be rolling down the road, you gonna make a new start (hey now) I’m not saying that I ain’t done you bad All I’m saying is think about what we did we have? (what did we have?) What’s the worst thing I ever did to you Well it must have been cruel crushed your soul too You’re getting your revenge carrying it through Tell me what’s the worst thing I ever did to you What’s the worst thing I ever did to you?

Just a washed up never was The music biz passed just because They didn’t hear a hit He couldn't sing a lick But it’s a damn good story He drove a seventy-six Camaro car Park the thing out front by the bar Jump through the window And put on a show Those were some days of glory Then he moved up to Nashville town That's where he put his roots down You’d catch him playing every Friday the 13th That's when he published his own magazine About adventures and his songs Everyone sang along And they made a few records But his career never got off the ground Only once did the band tour out of town But he made some good friends Yeah the party never ends Even when you don’t win an award If you're ever in Nashville town You can find him on Friday the 13th every time that date rolls around... He’s just a washed up never was Music biz passed just because They didn’t hear a hit He couldn’t sing a lick But it’s a damn good story

He must’ve cussed ya like August in Augusta To leave you crying in this bar tonight I didn’t catch him, don’t matter I reckon For what it’s worth I’ll just be on your side Should we have a drink? A White Russian? Gotta say I didn’t see that one coming Do you wanna dance? Now ain’t we something Look at us both starting with nothing Every end of summer I always wonder Did you find that someone to treat you right? But I keep the memory and it always sends me Back to that dive bar on that Tuesday night, when… He must’ve cussed ya like August in Augusta To leave you crying in that bar
