I heard you had to drive him home after two umbrella drinks I heard he's got a Prius, 'cause he's into bein' green My buddies said he saw y'all, eatin' that sushi stuff Baby that don't sound like you, That don't sound like love, Sounds like it sucks He can't even bait a hook He can't even skin a buck He don't know who Jack Daniels is He ain't ever drove a truck Knows how to throw out a line, But not the kind in a field and stream book No darlin' I ain't even worried, You'll come runnin' back He can't even bait a hook Has he kissed you in a hay field As the sumer rain falls down? Has he took you to meet his mama, Back in his home town? Does he drive the interstate, Or take them old back roads? Can he melt your heart with a country song, Every good old boy should know? I didn't think so He can't even bait a hook He can't even skin a buck He don't know who Jack Daniels is He ain't ever drove a truck Knows how to throw out a line, But not the kind in a field and stream book No darlin' I ain't even worried, You'll come runnin' back He can't even bait a hook It won't be that long, 'till you start gettin' bored I'll be smilin' on the river, realin' in one more He can't even bait a hook He can't even skin a buck Hell he don't know who Jack Daniels is He ain't ever drove a truck Knows how to throw out a line, But not the kind in a field and stream book No darlin' I ain't even worried, 'Cause you'll come runnin' back He can't even bait a hook No baby I ain't even worried He can't even bait a hook
