lyrics

Taught her how to play
On a guitar that I gave her D E and A
Taught her ‘bout minor and major
Soon she started playing steady
Hit the notes where they’d belong
Then one day she’s ready
She wants to sing her first song

She hops up on the stage
Throws the strap around her neck
She doesn’t have no lyrics page
Speaks into the mic, “check, check”

Then she starts strumming away
Puts some rhythm to the strings
I have heard her play those chords before
But I’ve never heard her sing

My woman she sings so sweet
It’s real plain to see
But how can I sing along
When she’s singing ‘bout a man who ain’t me?

I can’t believe my ears
Am I hearing her correct?
‘Cause the way it sounds from here
Seems like I’m her latest reject

Does she think I’m crazy?
Who’s she think I am?
My mind’s going to paisley
Listening to her sing about that other man

If she had to tell me
Why couldn’t she have told me straight?
‘Cause now I’m stuck here on the dance floor
While everyone else swings and sways
Should I hear the song out
Or should I just go home?
Maybe I’ll jump up on stage
And sing a song of my own
Yeah, my woman she sings so sweet
It’s real plain to see
But how can I possibly sing along
When she’s singing ‘bout a man who ain’t me?
