MY BARKS WORSE THAN MY BITE
V1
I met this girl
at the county honky tonk
outside of Knoxville Tennessee.
She was prettier than a homemade
pumpkin pie
Tastier than a strawberry ice cream
I asked her--
Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
As I asked her for a light?
Darlin' do you think I'm the
One for you?
She said....before you
consider that you might want
to know this tonight.
Tonights a full moon baby
and My barks worse than my bite.
Bridge:
We danced to some country songs
some banjo and fiddle
under the moon.
By last call we both were drunk
I said darlin' if you dont mind
I have some questions for you.
She looked at me for just a moment
with a twinkle in her eye
she said boy most nights
I wouldn't have bothered
But tonight must be your lucky night
V2
You see my ex left me
in Bismarck
and then I moved out to
San Antone
But those hot summers got the best
of me
so I knew I had to come back home.
I hitched a ride to Tulsa
Branson and Memphis- home to the king
Then I took a bus back home here
in Knoxville to this honky tonk
where you first met met.
Chorus:
So boy if you come here with me tonight
I'm sure it will work out.
and everything will be all right.
It may be a full moon baby-
But don't be scared boy
because my Barks worse than my
bite.
