Jealous Brother - Guitar Picks and Nail Clippers

from SpinTunes 21 Round 3 by Spintunes

lyrics

Guitar picks and nail clippers
The only things I own
She threw me out and broke my guitar
That telecaster’s gone

She ripped my clothes and burned my books
Popped the tires on my car
Now it’s guitar picks and nail clippers
Walking to the liquor store

Well my baby came home early
About last week Tuesday night
I guess I must have come home late
And I heard we had a fight

Don’t know what she was mad about
But I'm sure it’s for the best
I was trying to write a love song
And I didn’t hear what she said

It's Guitar picks and nail clippers
The only things I own
She threw me out and broke my guitar
That telecaster’s gone

She ripped my clothes and burned my books
Popped the tires on my car
Now it’s guitar picks and nail clippers
Walking to the liquor store

Well she says I never wash my hair
And I never trim my nails
I never help around the house
And as a lover, I have failed

I never did the simple things
And when I did, I did ‘em wrong
So all I'm taking with me, besides this country song....

Is Guitar picks and nail clippers
They’re the only things I own
She threw me out and broke my guitar
That telecaster’s gone

She ripped my clothes and burned my books
Popped the tires on my car

Now it’s guitar picks and nail clippers
Walking to the liquor store
Now it's guitar picks and nail clippers
Walking to the liquor store
Now it's guitar picks and nail clippers
Walking to the liquor store
