[Intro]
A7 D
[Verse 1]
D G
Oh, that girl is sure a beauty and that guy she's with has got to be a beast
A7 D
They just came into the bar and even sitting down, he stands above six feet
D G
And I'd surely like to meet her, just to say hello would certainly be nice
A7 D
Hey waitress, fix another drink and this time, how about less ice?
[Verse 2]
G D
They say he makes a living splitting mighty trees in two with his bare hands
G A7
And his middle name is Tushhog, I'd be crazy to take on that kind of man
D G
'cause I'm a lover, not a fighter, I stand five foot nine, at least when I wear boots
A7 D
Waitress, make this shot a double and if you don’t mind, just leave out all that fruit
[Interlude]
A7 D
[Verse 3]
D G
She's smiling at me now and I can see she'd like to get rid of that bull
A7 D
Well, I'll bet he changes faces and gets hairy when the moon is getting full
D G
And while we’re on the subject, full is what my drinks ain't being and that's for sure
A7 D
You can save yourself some trouble, waitress, if you leave the bottle on the bar
[Verse 4]
G D
She just looked into my eyes and smiled real big at me again and then she winked
G A7
Bet a little man could dazzle him and he shouldn't be no trouble too, I think
D G
Waitress, ask that lady what she'll have, give her anything and put it on my tab
A7 D
He's getting smaller with each drink and it just might be I could take him down a dab
A7 D
He's getting smaller with each drink and it just might be I could take him down a dab
