Tryin' to parse this information
Don't much like this conversation
When you tell me our relation-
Ship is sinking
And you been thinking
And got this to say
I need a good old boy with more biceps than brains
Who doesn't know i'm lying when i'm makin up things
He treats me nice, except for when he gets drunk
Lets me think what i think, and thunk what i thunk
Do pardon my confusion
Were our years a grand illusion
Your new ring's got an occlusion
You just smile back and say
Said a good old boy with more biceps than brains
Who thinks like a Prius, and runs like a train
Teaching gym at the high school just like his old man
He may not be too famous, but i'm his biggest fan
Solo (Verse)
Yes a good old boy with more biceps than brains
He can't follow a plot, so he just watches the game
Almost went pro in college till he blew out his knee
Now he sits on the sofa and takes care of me
I don't mind your indiscretion
If nothing else, I've learned a lesson
I can't trust you won't be messin'
Around behind my back
You just smile
I found a good old boy with more biceps than brains
Can't drive a stick, at least he stays in his lane
He's my big-hearted, beer-gutted simple old fool
But best of all he don't remind me of you
