WRITTEN ON PAPER-rewrite

Thought I had my future mapped out
Just her and me
She must’ve signed our marriage license
With invisible ink
Without a pre-nup she ended up
With my truck and the house
And her lawyer looked at me
Like I was a cash cow

CHORUS
LIKE THE LYRICS OF A BAD COUNTRY SONG
ENRON BEFORE SOMETHING WENT WRONG
MY BANK ACCOUNT BEFORE SHE TOOK IT ALL
AND LONG BEFORE THAT GIRL TOLD ME “SEE YA LATER”
MAN IT SURE LOOKED GOOD WRITTEN ON PAPER

In Houston I met a beauty
With haunting eyes
She wrote her number on a napkin
At the end of the night
I was cool so I waited two days
Before I called her up
And a guy’s voice answered the phone
“This is the City Dump”


CHORUS
LIKE THE LYRICS OF A BAD COUNTRY SONG
ENRON BEFORE SOMETHING WENT WRONG
MY BAR TAB BEFORE SHE DRANK IT ALL
AND LONG BEFORE THAT GIRL TOLD ME “SEE YA LATER”
IT SURE LOOKED GOOD WRITTEN ON PAPER


BRIDGE
Today’s horoscope gave me some hope
So I bought a lotto ticket for six numbers to show....

CHORUS
BUT LIKE THE LYRICS OF A BAD COUNTRY SONG
ENRON BEFORE SOMETHING WENT WRONG
MY BANK ACCOUNT BEFORE THE IRS TOOK IT ALL
MY YEARBOOK THAT SAID I’LL ALWAYS DATE HER
YEAH IT SURE LOOKS GOOD WRITTEN ON PAPER
OHHH IT SURE LOOKS GOOD WRITTEN ON PAPER
