"She Won't Let Me Have A Truck"

She kept me waiting for that first kiss
So when we wed I thought I'd found true bliss
Yeah, I was so overcome with glee
I never considered what might change for me ...

Chorus:
Now she won't let me have a truck
She won't let me have a Harley Hog
She won't let me wear cowboy boots
And drew the line at my old hound dog
A Stetson hat is never in style
I can't chew and spit a country mile
It's really cramping up my lifestyle
She won't let me have a truck

Well I went to work and when I got back home
She's standing there with two tickets to Rome
Says some culture is what I need
Thinks I ain't getting it here in Tennessee
Says hunt'n and fishing's no longer in season
I'd ask why but she'd have a good reason
If you ask me this is bordering on treason
She won't let me have a truck

Chorus:

She said my friends have all become passe
Made me sell my old Chevrolet
I'm eating tiny meals she calls gourmet
I never thought it would turn out this way
Says we can compromise and get an SUV
It doesn't look like a truck to me
She just doesn't seem to understand
I need a truck to feel like a man

Chorus:
