C5                                  G5
She asked me to dance and then she paused
          C5                         G5
she was a neighborhood local at her local bar
     F5                     G5
with shoulder length brown hair
              C5              F5
and an accent I found fairly rare
C5                G5              C5
one part country one part urban thug...total fox

C5                      G5
I was out of my element
C5                                   G5
new to the neighborhood and clearly lacking friends
     F5             G5                  C5
just adding to the mess of white ball caps
            F5
and red keg cups
C5             G5                  C5
dropping home values and raising rent

C5                              G5
After the pause things became confusing
            C5                      G5
she asked "are you a real man or a college student?"
          F5            G5
I did not know what to say 
            C5                F5 
I'd started school that very day
         C5                 G5           C5
which is nothing but a big business I suppose

C5                                 G5
Right then and there my heart did drop
    C5                                 G5
she turned and walked away without a second thought
              F5               G5
I should have listened to my dad
                 C5                          F5
when he said "work with your hands not your head
         C5                  G5                            C5
and your billfold will stay full and you won't be paying out debt"


So men the purpose of this song

is to go ahead and pass my father's wisdom on

go on and callous up them hands

learns some knots and turn a wrench

cause in four years there won't be any jobs left anyway


If I'd taken my old man's advice

I might be laid up in the bed beside that fox tonight

instead my mouth tastes like jello shooters

and i'm lurking here on this darn computer

well man that's all i've got ... good night
