    Verse 1
    She asked 

    me to dance 
    and then 
    she paused 

    She was 
    a neigh
    borhood 
    local 

    at 
    her local 
    bar 

    With shoulder 
    length 
    brown 

    hair and an accent 
    I 
    found fairly 
    rare 

    One 
    part coun
    try one 
    part 

    urban thug 
    total fox 

    I was 
    out 
    of my 
    ele
    ment 

    New to 
    the neighborhood 
    and 

    clearly 
    lacking 
    friends 

    Just adding 
    to 
    the mess 
    of white 

    ball caps 
    and red 
    keg 
    cups 

    Drop
    ping home 
    values 
    and 
    raising 
    rent 

    After 
    the pause 
    things 
    be
    came confusing 

    She 
    asked 
    "Are you 
    a real 
    man 

    or a college 
    student?" 

    I did 
    not know 
    what 
    to 
    say 
    I'd star

    ted school 
    that very 
    day 

    Which is nothing 
    but a 
    big 
    business 

    I suppose 

    She turned 
    and walked 
    away 

    without 
    a second 
    thought 

    I should 
    have listene
    d to 
    my dad 
    when he said 

    "Work 
    with your hands 
    not 
    your head 

    And 
    your billfold 
    will stay 
    full 
    and you won't 

    be paying out 
    debt" 

    So men 
    the purpose 
    of 
    this song 

    Is to go 
    ahead and 
    pass 

    my father's 
    wisdom 
    on 

    Go on 
    and cal
    lous up 
    those hands 
    learn 

    some knot
    s and turn 
    a wrench 

    Cause in four 
    years 
    there 
    won't be 

    any jobs 
    left 
    anyway 

    If I'd taken 
    my 
    old man's 
    advice 

    I might 
    be laid 
    up 
    in the bed 

    beside 
    that fox 
    tonight 

    Instead 
    my mouth 
    tastes 
    like jello 
    shooters 

    and I'm 
    lurk
    ing her on 
    this darn 
    computer 

    Man 
    that's all 
    I got 
    good night

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
