well it'd been a long day, so I thought I stop by
the Idle Hour to drink away some time
they know me there so I took my seat at the bar
Jerry poured me a beer in a 12oz mason jar
we talked huntin and fishin and moving along
as he poured me my 3rd one he asked me how long she'd been gone
well that took me back, so I opened up like a book
I told him how she loved me and how she left me without even a second look

Jerry just kinda grinned and said man you know what that story needs don’t you

twin fiddles sawing in sweet harmony
a flat top and a doghouse tuned a little off key
set it to a groove in three quarter time
and throw in the sad sounds of a steel guitar crying
and everyone at the bar could sing a long
cause that'd make a great country song

well it wasn't very long before this old man pulled up a seat
he ordered a beer then he looked over at me
he said I ain't had a drink since 1985
but I just got laid off at the factory and I think I'm loosing my wife

well I leaned over to the old man and said you know what that story needs don’t you

twin fiddles sawing in sweet harmony
a flat top and a doghouse tuned a little off key
set it to a groove in three quarter time
and throw in the sad sounds of a steel guitar crying
and everyone at the bar could sing a long
cause that'd make a great country song

talk about cheating or drinking, loving or leaving
but it just don’t sound right till you set it to the rhythm
