You know, I hear some guys sitting around making

C
some of the most ridiculous promises to their women.
I was on an airplane from
Houston,
Texas to
Nashville not long ago,
And there was a fella sitting across the aisle from
me on the plane telling this woman,
G
I'll go get the sun and the moon and stars and bring it back and put it in your lap.
And the woman was pretty
I was sayin' to myself, now how can a woman so beautiful and so
C
intelligent lookin' sit there and go for somethin' like that?
But guess what?
She was goin' for it.
Am
Heard a man on the radio the other day in a song sayin' he would swim
G
the widest ocean and the deepest river for his woman's love.
He lied!
Ain't no man gon' do that for
no woman. I know I'm not.
F
Listen, man, let's be for real now. I'm not gon' swim through those snakes and whales
C
and sharks and alligators an d octopuses tryin' to prove my love for no woman.
I ain't gon' do it.
Am
I get one of house, shoes, dressings, meat, potatoes,
bread, something like that you can deal with.
Fellas ought to quit that foolishness, man.
No, baby, you don't want no star.
First of all, they're too far
out there.
And if I could go and get it and bring it back, you
wouldn't know where to keep it.
Let me tell you one thing.
I think you'll like this.
Listen.
