I stay torn between killing him and loving him
He stays torn between neon lights and home
How ‘bout a honky tonk angel to tell me how this whole thing works
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her

I got a pack of camels I’m fixin’ to open
‘Cause I got an apron I’m fixin’ to tie on
Tell me how you fry a skillet of chicken in high heels and a skirt
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her

Like a tease comb for a mess of hair
’Cause you’re trying to keep your man from that hussy over there
And a cheap dress, tube top, looking for a cat fight
Pretty little bar fly, doesn’t think that I’m the kinda
Good girl that’s gonna go bad
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her

Steel solo

He’s gonna sleep in them cowboy boots on that couch tonight
I’m gonna sit at that kitchen table with a bottle of wine
I’m gonna search that midnight radio ‘til I find something that hurts
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her
Where’s Tammy Wynette when you need her

I don’t give up easy, I got many miles to go
But I can’t wait to get to, what I see down this road
And all my life I’ve learned to, just take it day by day
I’m not there yet, but I know I’m on my way

[Verse 2]
I’ve looked out the window
When there’s no hope in sight
But I swear I heard a whisper
Said it would be worth the fight
So I woke up one morning
And I put my fears aside
Now look how far I’ve come from
From the back of an endless line

I don’t give up easy, I got many miles to go
But I can’t wait to get to, what I see down this road
And all my life I’ve learned to, just take it day by day
I’m not there yet, but I know I’m on my way

I still got lessons to be learned
There’s a choice at every turn
Someone up there cleared a path
And there’s no turnin’ back

And all my life I’ve learned to, just take it day by day
I’m not there yet, but I know I’m on my way
I’m not there yet, but I know I’m on my way
Baby I’m on my way, on my way

(Verse Progression)

I need to go shoppin
These shoes are all wrong
Just look in my closet
Not a thing to put on
I wonder how these jeans make me look from behind
Things that never cross a man’s mind

LICK

Lets turn off the TV
Now can’t we just talk
Lets lay here and cuddle
Till we both drift off
If we don’t make love
That’ll be just fine
Things that never cross a man’s mind

(Chorus Progression)

That joke is too dirty
This steak is too thick
Ain’t no way in the world I’ll ever finish it
That car is too fast
This beer is too cold
And watchin all this football is sure getting old
Wish I was workin this weekend
Not on the lake wettin my line
Things that never cross a man’s mind

Lick

Verse Progression

Her lips are too red
Her skirt is too tight
Her legs are too long
And her heels are too high
Boy, she looks like the marrying kind
Things that never cross a man’s mind

Chorus Progression

That joke is too dirty
This steak is too thick
Ain’t no way in the world I’ll ever finish it
That car is too fast
This beer is too cold
And watching all this football is sure getting old
Wish I was working this weekend
Not on the lake threading my line
Things that never cross a man’s mind

Chorus Progression

I feel a little bloated
I think I’m fixin to start
That movie was good ‘cept for the violent parts
Brad Pitt is sexy
Why did he change his hair?
I knew him and Jenny never had a prayer!
These curtains clash with the carpet
The color scheme is a crime
Things that never cross a man’s mind
Things that never cross a man’s mind

Capo 1

Hey little girl with your tangled hair, your tattered clothes,
You’re fifteen and you’re about to bloom just like a rose.
Youre wishing that you had designer jeans
Like the ones you see in magazines.
Now I know you’d give anything just to fit in
But your worth ain’t on a price tag, it comes from within.

(Chorus)
Dont you know youre beautiful?
Dont you know youre beautiful?
Dont you know youre beautiful?
Just the way you are!

(Verse)
Hey there little homecoming queen in that back seat.
Ill bet his brown eyes are promising you everything!
And I know you want to be just like your friends,
But hell still love you if you dont give in.
But if those girls were being honest that have been where you’re at,
Id bet theyd tell you they wish they had their innocence back.

(Chorus)

Guitar Solo

So if he left you for a girl that could be your twin
If you were 28 again,
Let him go, let him fly, keep your head up,
Get on with your life!

(Chorus X2)
