[Primera Parte]

C
 When it comes to hitchin' the boat 
up
C7M                  C
Backin' down the ramp in my old 
truck
F                                 
To find a bunch of logs, to catch 
           F7M
a bunch of hogs
                   F           
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I 
            C
wrote the book

C
If you wanna learn to throw a curve 
right

Catch a clean up lookin' on a third 
strike
 F                  F7M
Talk a little smack while he's 
walkin' back
                   F
Yeah, I wrote the book

[Estribillo]

             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                          F7M
Or let the bottle turn you into a 
different man
                    F          
But damn if I don't do it every 
         C
Friday night

 C
Those get you into Heaven letters in
 red

Ain't gettin' read enough to keep 
                 F
me on a straight line

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

[Segunda Parte]

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
