Pick `Em Up And Lay `Em Down — текст песни (Toby Keith)

(Dave Loggins)

She said the man`s goin` home with me
She told the bar she was takin` all bets
Well never trust a woman drinkin` whiskey
That lights her own cigarette
I started callin` her baby, temptation was drivin` me wild
I think the only thing that saved me
It`s just not my style

`Cause I`m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin` for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I`m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin`
I`m as lonely as any man around
I just don`t like to pick `em up and lay `em down
Lay `em down
Pick `em up and lay `em down

So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups
A corner booth where the lights got dim
We started talkin` `bout gettin` real close
About how, and about when
It started rainin` harder and harder
I got up and with a thoughtful smile
I said, Honey, if that ain`t thunder and lightnin`
It just ain`t worthwhile

I`m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin` for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I`m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin`
I`m as lonely as any man around
I just don`t like to pick `em up and lay `em down
Lay `em down, down, down, down, down

I turned around and gave her one last smile
And thought about one long kiss
But that would be takin` it too far baby
And maybe something I couldn`t resist

I`m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin` for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I`m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin`
I`m as lonely as any man around
I just don`t like to pick `em up and lay `em down
Lay `em down
Pick `em up and lay `em down
Lay `em down

If it ain`t about thunder and lightnin`
It just ain`t worthwhile
Lord knows it just ain`t my style
Pick `em up and lay `em down, down, down, down, down
Pick `em up and lay `em down
