Choppin' Wood
I ain't too good at choppin' wood, But my daddy said I should. I need a woman with a nice strong back, Child-bearin' hips and a one room shack. I'm a hard, hard worker every day; Dirty hands and a little pay. I get up early and I get back late.
I ain't too good at matching clothes Wearing heels and panty hose. I need a man that's sensitive; Stoic and contemplative. A scholar and a gentleman. A caller with strong arms To hold me in.
So what if we're not everything Our mothers and our fathers Expect us to be. Could I be the one who's in your dreams, Could I be the one who you redeem?
I've gotten good at acting sweet, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But it's hard to admit defeat. I'm prim and proper and put together I'm sick and sore, under the weather. Got friends in places high and low, Learned things I didn't want to know, Been lifted up just to be let go.
I'm getting good at actin' tough, But I haven't gotten good enough. I want to be on the silver screen, I'm a kind-hearted man that's often mean. I'm a lover and a fighter; I'm a worker and a writer; I am a dreamer woken up by fits of rage.
Been trying hard to understand What it means to be a man, And every time I fall in love, I hug and kiss then push and shove. I'm solid then I'm soft and then, I'm gone and then I'm back again. I am a saint but my heart's filled with sin.
