Hmm mm mm mm mm

[Verse]
Am G
Well I cut my hair off, I wore a tie
AM G
Woke up at 7, came home at 5
Am7
For a while
G
I traded whiskey for Miller Lite
Am G
And I know your mama calls me polite
Am7
Mr. Right
G
Aw, but that ain't right
[Chorus]
Em7 D
'Cause I always gotta knoooow-ow
C G
What's behind the other door
Em7
I'm never gonna be that straight-laced
D C G
Sunday-mornin' man you were lookin' for
Em7 G
Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house
C G/B Am7
With some kids and a bed of roses
G
But you came the closest
Am G
Ba da da da wah wah wah
Ba da da da
[Verse]
C G
We never married 'cause I never asked
Am G
I left the diamond under the glass
Am7
Some day you'll be glad
G
'Cause you'll find somebody who shaves every day
Am G
When your dad comes around, he'll know what to say
Am7
I just ain't that way
G
I just ain't that way
[Chorus]
Em7 D
'Cause I always gotta knoooow-ow
C G

Moving on is the only thing I know how to do

[Verse 1]
I cut my hair off, I wore the tie
Woke up at 7, came home at 5
For a while I traded whiskey for Miller Lite
And I know your mama calls me polite, Mr. Right
Oh, but that ain't right
[Chorus]
'Cause I always gotta know
What's behind the other door
I'm never gonna be that straight-laced
Sunday-mornin' man you were lookin' for
Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
[Verse 2]
We never married 'cause I never asked
I left the diamond under the glass
Some day you'll be glad
'Cause you'll find somebody who shaves every day
When your dad comes around, he'll know what to say
I just ain't that way
I just ain't that way
[Chorus]
'Cause I always gotta know
What's behind the other door
I'm never gonna be that straight-laced
Sunday-mornin' man you were lookin' for
Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
[Bridge]
Moving on is the only thing I know how to do
If I could've stood still then I would've stood still with you
[Chorus]
But I always gotta know
What's behind the other door
I'm never gonna be that straight-laced
Sunday-mornin' man you were lookin' for
Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
