  			       E7       
Well I go out drinkin, comin? in late stinkin 
E7                                                      A  
Tell my wife I left the car with the keys sittin by the highway 
           E7 
And it got stolen 
       E7 
Then I tell her to get dressed, high heels, Sunday best 
E7                                                     A 
Big surprise, lots of fun, she thinks we?re going to a party 
           E7 
Then we go bowlin? 

E                    D 
Oooooh I?m drivin my wife away 
                A             E 
She can?t take another day of me 
E                     D 
Ooooh, I?m drivin? my wife away 
A 
Didn?t want her anyway 
 
 
Well the truck stop cutie, comin? on to me 
Wife?s along, getting? mad, she don?t think it?s very funny 
Still I keep flirtin 
Then she got new ?, slapped me on the temple, told me I could stay if I wanted to but she was gonna go 
My face is still hurtin?
