I'd be Cbetter Goff Amred
If Call the things I've Glearned
Would just fall Dout of my Ghead
'Cause a Cblade of Gbluegrass 
Left a Dscar on my Emneck
And it ain't quit Churtin' yet
   DI'd be better off Gred
GI'd want Cten little Gacres
InsDtead of the Gworld
I'd Cbe a homeGmaker
InsDtead of the Ggirl 
Who Gm7had to Emmake it out
Of a Bmnowhere town
Just to Cmake her mama proud
See my Cdaddy's Gnot well Amread
CHe don't give a Gdamn about these
DThings in my Ghead
He's got a CChevy, a Gfront porch
And a DTV Emset
He ain't hurCtin' yet
   DI'd be better off Gred
GI'd want the Cbank of a Griver
InsDtead of the Gsea
I'd Cbe a school Gteacher
InDstead of the Gfreak
Who Gm7had to Emrun away
From the Bmonly place
Where everyCbody knew my name
'Cause the Emworld ain't got
EmNo front porch swing
The Bmsea ain't got no
BmFresh green beans
CI ain't found one finer thing, Dmama
I'd be Cbetter Goff Amred
If Call the things I've Glearned
Would just fall Dout of my Ghead
'Cause a Cblade of Gbluegrass 
Left a Dscar on my Emneck
And it ain't quit Churtin' yet
   DI'd be better off redG
