| Lyrics |
They say the only sure things in this life are death and taxes
I don't agree I think that different kinds of matches
I once met this old wise man on a hill
He never gave his Uncle Sam a damn dollar bill
I said are you afraid to die
He said son what you talkin
I'll be comin back
In that door your walking
There's only one thing in this world you can count on
There's only one thing you can lay your money down on
You can bet your life your farm your home on the range
If you've got a woman, a woman's got a mind to change
I said a woman's got a mind, a woman's got a mind to change
I said oh baby oh baby oh baby,
Let's get us some Chinese food
But she said no no no no no no
Not in the mood
We headed down to Pedro's tacoria
We ordered up a couple of those old salty Margaritas
You know that menu it didn't whet her appetite
She said I got a good idea
Let's get Chinese food tonight
There's only one thing in this world you can count on
There's only one thing you can lay your money down on
You can bet your life your farm your home on the range
If you've got a woman, a woman's got a mind to change
Oh, and I said my woman's got a mind to change
We had our fling, we had our thing
And she went back to mister Raines
Cried some tears, drank some beers
I got in bed and I turned out the lights
Oh then I heard these keys inside my door
Famliar footsteps just kind of move across my floor
Said aw baby I thought you said we were through
She said what can I say I changed my mind
I'd rather be with you
There's only one thing in this world you can count on
There's only one thing you can lay your money down on
You can bet your life your farm your home on the range
If you've got a woman, a woman's got a mind to change
There's only one thing in this world you can count on
There's only one thing you can lay your money down on
You can bet your life your farm your home on the range
If you've got a woman, a woman's got a mind to change
SONG: Only a Good Woman
When I was seventeen
I asked my daddy
What does it take to be a man
And he said sit down son
Let's have a little talk
I'll try and make you understand
And then he saidyears won't do ittears won't do itand sitting down to drink a thousand beers won't do ittattoos won't do itand booze won't do itand puttin little lifts in your shoes won't do itbut I'm gonna tell you the thing that canhe said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
He said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing that's gonna make you a manhe said a scar won't do itfast car won't do itand kickin' someone's ass in a bar won't do ityou aint gonna do it as an army privateor a captain or lieutenant just won't buy itlisten son you better get yourself a planhe said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
He said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing that's gonna make you a man
Now I was runnin around all through my twenties
Just to prove I had the stuff
Then one day I met this brown eyed girl
She said to me boy you aint that tough
She said that walk won't do itthat talk won't do itand struttin in here like a chicken hawk won't do itor bein a sexistor drivin that Lexusor tellin people you were born and raised in Texas
Come over here boy if you think you can
She said you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
She said only, a good woman can
That's the only thing that's gonna make you a man
Well my daddy died when I was thirty one
And that brown eyed girl gave me a brown eyed son
And when he comes to me wonderin how you do it
I'll say now sit down son cause I've been through itdrugs won't do ithugs won't do itand hangin on the corner with thugs won't do itthe preacher won't do itand the teacher won't do itand stayin up to watch the creature feature won't do itboy just look at your momma and you'll understand
Oh you get a good woman and she'll make you a man
Son only, a good woman can
That's the only thing that's gonna make you a man
Eatin snake won't do it
Body by Jake won't do it
Put a lot of birthday candles on your birthday cake won't do it
Wearin cowboy boots won't do it
Armani suits won't do it
Sittin there puffin on that cuban cheroot won't do it
Bein rich won't do it
Bein poor won't do it
Playin this song on the radiooooo ..... might do it
Yeah actually, that might do it
