It's one thing to be forgotten by your family
A warped definition of the word free
How did all the blame fall on me?
Why don't you just hang me from a tree?

This world that we now live in
Is an illusion of parody and sin
Sometimes I don't want to live in my own skin
The evidence you have is looking mighty thin,

Why some women want a real cowboy
While others just need a well built toy
Others want mister money bags to bring them joy
While good men with true hearts become useless decoys,

Don't let me fade into the sunset like all of my wives before
Don't let me fall off the truck bed when I don't know the score,

She was out picking up men at the truck stop
When she said she felt like going out to shop
She had the radio loudly playing bee bop
When she got pulled over by the cop,

Ask me why I feel useless or a little confused
Was it being jilted or flat out being used?
By the time Baby I caught on it was too late to accuse
Seems like I'm always the fool destined to lose,

Why did you ever want me I wonder sometimes
You seemed to always get angry at the flip of a dime
You dumped me when I was just slipping from my prime
Don't even know why should I ever attempt another climb,

Don't let me fade into the sunset like all of my wives before
Don't let me fall off the truck bed when I don't know the score.
