Story Behind The Song

I get tired of the wimpy country songs these days where the guy is a wet noodle (Rascal Flatts???). This is what a real guy would say.

Song Description

This is what a real man should do if a woman dumps him and then comes crawling back begging for forgiveness.

Lyrics

you say that your'e sorry for treating me so wrong
after everything we shared together for so long
you say you want forgivenes, you wanna make amends
for stealing all my money and leavin town with my best friend
i said i'd think about it and that's just what i did
i thought about how we first met when we weren't more than kids
and i thought about you all day long and lyin' there in bed
i wrote down everything i thought and this is what it said

i'd rather pour a can of gasoline on top of my head
fire up a match and light a marlboro red
i'd rather sign up for a root canal without novocaine
than to waste another minute thinkin' bout you again
woo-hoo-hoo

i took a walk behind the barn, the place we first kissed
thinking bout those good times only makes me pissed
and i found our initials carved in an old oak tree
and i cut 'er down and chopped 'er up and lit a fire for me

i'd rather put hot coals in my eyes and suffer through the pain
swim across the ocean in a class 5 hurricane
i'd rather pour a box of fire ants inside of my shoes
than waste another minute thinkin' about you
woo-hoo-hoo

can't say i'm surprised you broke me in the end
but i still can't believe you ran away with my best friend
the money, it don't bug me cause i still got my job
but can't you do the right thing once and bring me back my dog

i'd rather pour a can of gasoline on top of my head
fire up a match and light a marlboro red
i'd rather walk across the desert without my canteen
than waste another minute thinkin' bout you again
woo-hoo-hoo
