I cut my
teeth in the socialite scene
Where the pickin's were rich, if you know what I mean
Had a country mansion and a downtown loft
Oh, the living was good, and the girls were soft
There are plenty of women in a rich man's life
I took one home as a trophy wife
But one hot moment when I raised my voice
And she went back to daddy with the new Rolls Royce
(Chorus)
I should've found love wearing working clothes
White lace, pretty face - had enough of those
I'd rather have a woman with her hands in the dirt
'Cause making love last takes a lot of work
So I married a niece of
the King of Spain
But my princess bride was a royal pain
I married once more to a senator's ex
But she talked politics when I said sex
So I sold my house, bought a beat-up jeep
Ate my meals where the food was cheap
I found love at a demolition site
Her t-shirt torn and her blue jeans tight
(Repeat chorus,
except "I found love...")
Sometimes we shout, have a
little fight
Sometimes gotta talk it out all night
But I don't have a doubt that I made the right choice
When I see her pump gas in the new Rolls Royce
(Repeat chorus)
