Do-It-Yourself Country Western Song Kit

 

I met her (1) (2). I can still recall (3) she wore.

(1) at a hoedown
at rehearsal
on the highway
at a truckstop

(2)in September
down in Memphis
close to Nashville
wrestlin' gators

(3) the purple dress
those Wal-Mart boots
that fuzzy hat
that Mozart wig

 

She was (4) (5), and I knew (6).

(4) sobbin' at the tollbooth
drinkin' Dr. Pepper
crawlin' in the swampgrass
playin' minor triads

(5)in the twilight
by the off-ramp
with her shoes off
near the dance hall

(6)no guy would ever love her more.
she'd bought her dentures in a store.
that she was rotten to the core.
that she'd never use a score.

 

(7) (8) forever. She said to me (9).

(7) I promised her I'd
I yodeled that I'd
She asked me if I'd
I'll sWear off meat and

(8) stay with her
knew deep down
Wear red socks
play Satie

(9) our love would never die.
there was no other guy.
she'd have a ham on rye.
that Weddings made her cry.

 

But who'd have thought she'd (10) (11). (12) goodbye.

(10) run off
fiddle
sing loud
sky dive

(11) with my best friend
in the choir room
in my Edsel
near Atlanta

(12) You'd think at least that she'd have said
I never had the chance to say
She sent a hired thug to say
I now can kiss my credit cards
