ALL PRETTY GIRLS

By David Snyder

V1

Once I met a girl
I was young
And she smelled like a rose
I was so much in love
That I bent down and kissed on her toes
She said she would love me today and all of my life
The next day she took off with my friend
And that wasn’t right

CH

Why do all pretty girls
Just make you break down and cry
Why do all pretty girls
Never even tell you why
[repeat]

V2

So I drove to Phoenix
To find and tell her some things
And win her heart back with a shiny diamond ring
In front of a trailer she had a baby poking out of herself
I said man it’s time to put my love back up on that shelf

Bridge

Oh People
I have admit it
As long as I live
I will never get it

CH

Why do all pretty girls
Just make you break down and cry
Why do all pretty girls
Never even tell you why
[repeat x 4] with gut-wrenching solo as well

ALL PRETTY GIRLS

A Walking Country Song
By David Snyder

V1

Throwin’ chairs off of a Nashville roof
Cause I’m drinkin’ little 100 proof
You know I’m grinning in a baseball cap
I wear it backwards cause you like it like that
Cause I ain’t classy but it’s how I roll
I’m the one they never could control


CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

V2

Got a mullet in my mugshot yo
I’ll post some bail and then I’ll skip parole
I’m wearing handcuffs but I’m breaking  loose
Then I’m gonna love you while I’m wearing my boots
Sometimes it seems like I can do no wrong
No matter what I do they always sing along

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


Bridge

Yeah I drink too much
Yeah I talk too much
But girl you’re so damn smokin’
That you’re hot to the touch

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


V3

I was caught buck naked but I'm not in jail
I was caught buck naked and I'm raising hell
And I was born spoiled rotten
If you can't tell

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

Outro

And I can write a hit
Write it like this
And every song sounds the same
But I’m staying strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
