He wouldn’t know me if he saw me.  
You’d turn your head if you did. 
He’ll never know how much you loved me, 
or what kind of love we had. 
You threw away all our pictures, 
but the memories won’t go away.  
He’s asking questions that you don’t have to answer, 
it’s written all over your face. 
  
Chorus:  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
I bet he sees it in your eyes.    
What’s in your heart you cannot hide.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
 
Late in the mid-night hour 
when you’re doing what lovers do.  
There’s still a desire deep down inside, 
that’s just between me and you.  
Yeah, it’s just between me and you.  
Now don’t you ever feel guilty, 
giving just half of your heart  
Holding on to your foolish pride, 
is just keeping us apart.  
Yeah, it’s just keeping us apart 
 
Chorus:  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
I bet he sees it in your eyes.    
What’s in your heart you cannot hide.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind. 
  
Bridge:  
In the cool of the night when the howling wind 
calls my name  
You can run to his arms but it’s not the same, 
no it’s just not the same girl.  
I bet he sees it in your eyes.   
What’s in your heart you cannot hide.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.  
I bet he knows when I’m on your mind.

I had a puppy love crush when I was ten years old 
                                    
Her name was Lisa Genene she lived across the road. 
    A          
I caught her with a cub scout in a little blue hat. 
 
They were pushin’ each other on a swing out back. 
   G                     D                               G    D 
I remember how it almost killed me  How could she do me like that 
   G                   D                       G               A 
I never thought I’d be the same, but now I look back and I laugh. 
 
              G     D         G     D 
If can get over her, I can over you   
                G          D                    A

             G                      D         G               D
Even though she left scars on my heart time has healed the wounds 
     G        D          A     D
If I can get over her I can get over you

I took my high school sweetheart to the senior prom  
 
She went off to college and I stayed on the farm 
 A
I had a broken heart and some fences to mend  
 
I knew I’d never hold her again.  
 G                D          G               D
But I saw her today in the paper.  Smilin’ in her wedding dress. 
 G               D         G               A
So I sent her a card and a blender and I wished her all the best. 
 
          G     D     G     D 
If can get over her, I can over you   
     G          D                    A          
It’s just gonna take some time these things they always do 
     G                     D         G               D
Even though she left scars on my heart time has healed the wounds

If I can get over her I can get over you

         E                                         A      E  
Have you ever had one of those days when nothin’ goes right 
     E                                                         
Your wife starts bitchin’ about whatever it was she was bitchin’ 
        B7 
about last night 
   E                                              A          E
So you escape into the bathroom just to sit there on your throne 
    E                                             B7      E
But after you finish your business, the toilet paper’s gone 
 
Chorus: 
            E                        A 
Well it’s a great day for me to whoop somebody’s ass 
       E                              B7
It’s a bad day, so you better get off my back 
              E                          A    
You might get cold-cocked if you cross my path 
             E                                  B7  E 
Cause it’s a great day for me to whoop somebody’s ass 
 
Well I was runnin’ late for work so I poured me some coffee to go 
And just before I had a flat tire, I spilled it all over my clothes 
When the highway patrolman pulled up I thought that help 
was on the way 
But when he saw the tire tool in my hand he shot me 
with pepper spray 
 
Chorus 
 
When I finally made it to work I was 15 minutes late 
I told my boss about the flat tire but he fired me anyway 
So here I am out in the parking lot just waiting by his Corvette 
I’m gonna give him a goodbye present that he never will forget 
 
Chorus

he’s the king of the nursing home 
I’m gonna go to Viagra before it falls
