I heard you had to drive him home after two umbrella drinks
I heard he’s got a Prius ’cause he’s into being green
My buddy said he saw y’all eating that sushi stuff
Baby that don’t sound like you, that don’t sound like love
Sounds like it sucks
He can’t even bait a hook
He can’t even skin a buck
He don’t know who Jack Daniels is
Ain’t ever drove a truck
Knows how to throw out a line
But not the kind in a Field and Stream book
No darling I ain’t even worried you’ll come running back
He can’t even bait a hook
Has he kissed you in a hay field as a summer rain falls down
Has he took you to meet his mama back in his hometown
Does he drive the interstate or does he take them ol’ back roads
Can he melt your heart with a country song every good ol’ boy should know
I didn’t think so
He can’t even bait a hook
He can’t even skin a buck
He don’t know who Jack Daniels is
Ain’t ever drove a truck
Knows how to throw out a line
But not the kind in a Field and Stream book
No darling I ain’t even worried you’ll come running back
He can’t even bait a hook
It won’t be that long
Til you start getting bored
I’ll be smiling on the river
Reeling in one more
He can’t even bait a hook
He can’t even skin a buck
He don’t know who Jack Daniels is
Ain’t ever drove a truck
Knows how to throw out a line
But not the kind in a Field and Stream book
No darling I ain’t even worried ’cause you’ll come running back
He can’t even bait a hook
No baby I ain’t even worried
He can’t even bait a hook
Nah you’re the one that’s gonna be sorry when you’re headin’ to get tofu and he has a flat tire in hos foreign car and don’t know how to change it and you’ll get your new Gucci shoes wet and you’re mad and irritated, I’ve seen you irritated, I’m telling you, better him than me actually
