  • Forget about my crazy days
    Forget about my checkered past
    What's all this interrogatin'?
    Baby, forget about that
    You don't want to ask no questions
    You don't know the answers to
    You might wish that I was lying
    Once you heard the brutal truth
    I can think a thousand things I'd rather do with you

    In the time that it would take me to explain the way I am
    Honey I could be well on my way to being your new man
    We could waste the day away digging up my buried bones
    Or you could turn it up and shake it, shake it all night long
    I could rationalize and apologize and justify my way right in your door
    But in the time that it would take me to tell you where I've been
    Honey I could take you places you ain't never been before

    Yeah come on girl now don't you judge me
    Come on girl cut me some slack
    Once I get you where I'm going baby you'll come on back
    You and me are gas and matches
    You and me could take this town
    Light it up and get her smokin'
    You and me could burn it down
    Or you could get all hung up on
    How much I've been around

    In the time that it would take me to explain the way I am
    Honey I could be well on my way to being your new man
    We could waste the day away digging up my buried bones
    Or you could turn it up and shake it, shake it all night long
    I could rationalize and apologize and justify my way right in your door
    But in the time that it would take me to tell you where I've been
    Honey I could take you places you ain't never been before

    Yeah In the time that it would take me to explain the way I am
    I could be well on my way to being your new man
    We could waste the day away digging up my buried bones
    Or you could turn it up and shake it, shake it all night long
    I could rationalize and apologize and justify my way right in your door
    But in the time that it would take me to tell you where I've been
    Honey I could take you places you ain't never been before Writer/s: Bobby Pinson, Toby Keith
