He's Still My Man

(A country song to my hubby…read this with a Loretta Lynn voice)

Verse one:

Well, my man is the kind who likes to unwind 
with a BudLight and western shows.
He watches them over and over and over 
till I think my head’ll explode!
A ballcap is all that he will wear on his head,
 except when it rains and then ...
He’ll put on his raincoat and putter till he’s soaked...
 I can’t get that man to come in!

Chorus:

But he’s still my man!
He’ll always be.
I love him to death, bless his heart,
I love him and he still loves me!

Verse two:

You can’t get more country, 
and you can’t get less,
this man knows who he is.
It never occurs  to compromise 
when his way is all that there is.
But his way is a good way...
He’s got a heart of gold.
Too bad it would kill him to cash it in, 
cause he works too hard...
comes home when hes too tared...
but in bed he gets his second wind!

Chorus:

And hes still my man,
he’ll always be!
I love him to death, bless his heart,
I love him and he still loves me!

Bridge/tag:

I cant help but wonder...
how he always gets it right...
Did he go to college...
to know how to treat his wife?

It turns out he dyed his whiskers...
from blue to blonde ...
I didn’t know...
 till I was too far gone.
Sakes alive! I’m number five!
He had four others to practise on!
 
Chorus:
But he’s still my man
he’ll always be
I love him to death, 
bless his heart, 
I love him and he STILL.... loves me!
