[Intro]
C    Cmaj7  C

[Verse]
C
 When it comes to hitchin
' the boat up
Cmaj7                 C
Backin' down the ramp in
 my old truck
F
To find a bunch of logs,
                     Fmaj7
 to catch a bunch of hogs
                   F
Yeah, I wrote the book,
                    C
yeah, I wrote the book

C
If you wanna learn to
 throw a curve right

Catch a clean up lookin'
on a third strike
 F                  Fmaj7
Talk a little smack while
he's walkin' back
                   F
Yeah, I wrote the book

[Chorus]
             C
But there's one that lays
by the lamp on the nightstand
 C
One that says don't cuss
and don't fight
F
Or let the bottle turn
     Fmaj7
you into a different man
                    F
But damn if I don't do
                  C
it every Friday night
 C
Those get you into Heaven
 letters in red
 C
Ain't gettin' read enough
                           F
to keep me on a straight line

I'm a Jack of all trades,
 but man I gotta say
That's one book
           C    C
 I didn't write

[Verse]
C
I met a good girl,
she had her life straight
She said she loved that
 I was good at everything
 F
One day she left me
in a cloud of dust
'Cause I never was too
good at pickin' up
