From the recording If You Drive Me To Drink

Lyrics

VERSE
Time won’t stand still but sometimes a day will
Today may be one of those times
She’s just discovered he was out with another
Girl, and it’s blowin’ her mind

VERSE
They were not exclusive, but now she’s reclusive
Just thinkin’ what she’s gonna say
It’ll take a little while ’cause her speech is a mile
Long, boy, is he gonna pay

First PRE-CHORUS
Here he comes in his truck, ridin’ up like a boycow
I surely would not want to be him right now
But I would like to see, oh, I would like to be...

CHORUS
(I wanta be) A mouse in her pocket, a fly on the wall
A dog on the carpet, cat chasin’ a ball
See and hear every word, wrong or right
It’ll be pure dynamite
I wouldn’t count on any lovin,’ but it’ll be one helluva night

VERSE
His bluejeans are tight; he’s high as a kite
On what he thinks will transpire
He’s done a little drinkin'; he’s forward thinkin’
He’s sellin,’ but she’s not a buyer

Second PRE-CHORUS
She stares right in his eyes as she lets him in
She’s tellin’ him she knows where he’s been
Oh, I would like to see; hey, I would like to be...

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I guess the takeaway from this tale is knowin’ the limits
Of what a guy can do with his freedom
He thought one thing; she thought another
And I guess we found out who was right

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yeah, I wouldn’t count on any lovin,’ but it’ll be one helluva night
