Just because I drive a dump truck;
doesn't mean that you can treat me like dirt.
Just because my hands are hard and calloused
it doesn’t mean that my heart can't hurt.
Just because I listen to country music
doesn’t mean that I ain't got taste.
Just because the bank knows me on a
first name basis doesn’t mean I got money to waste.
(Chorus)
But honey I love you... in my own way.
And I want you... to please stay.
We can live together, have a few thrills.
You can run the house and I'll pay the bills.
Just because I've been called a self made man
doesn’t mean a won't self destruct.
Just because I've been called happy go lucky
it doesn’t mean I don't get down on my luck.
Just because I never bring you roses
doesn’t mean that I'm beyond romance.
Just because I was born with two left feet
it doesn’t mean I don't like to dance.
(Chorus)
But honey I love you... in my own way.
And I want you... to please stay.
We can live together, have a few thrills.
You can run the house and I'll pay the bills.
