Verse #2 (same chord progression as Verse #1)

a weed eater and a picket fence, ya think it's good as the gettin' gets.

ya both wonder what's up with that

Chorus

Verse #3 (same as #2, but softer)

one night around 8 o'clock, you scrub him down and then you dry him off,
ya pick him up and put his little feet, on the stool by the bathroom sink
you grab the crest and a dixie cup
it all hits you as he opens up
                       C
Love starts with a toothbrush
