Lyrics

An Inch Deep (and a mile wide)

V1
You walked in here
Like you know you're hot
And all the girls on the dance floor
Wanna take a shot

But my Mama warned me
About your type
And boy I gotta say
This time I think Mama's right

Chorus
Cuz you're an inch deep and a mile wide
Everything about you is a lie
You don't fool me I can see right through
You're a rattlesnake in a pair of boots
You're a smile and a wink but deep inside
You're nothing but an inch deep
And a mile wide

V2
Do you like the way
That the young girls stop and stare
When you run your fingers
Through your jet black hair

Did you spend all day
Workin on that tan
I bet it's just as fake
As that diamond on your hand
Chorus

Bridge
Forgive me honey
But I think you should know
I'm just lookin for a good man
Not a one night Romeo

Cuz you're an inch deep and a mile wide
There probably ain't a line you hadn't tried
You wanna get me drunk, wanna take me home
Wanna see how far I'll LET YOU GO

You're an inch deep and a country mile wide
Wish I had a nickel every time that you lied
You can't fool me, I can see right through
You're a rattlesnake in a pair of boots
You're a smile and a wink but deep inside
You're nothing but an inch deep
And a mile wide
You're nothing but an inch deep
And a mile wide
You're nothing but an inch deep
And a mile wide

Good chorus and lyrics. Production is mostly good. Voice sounds good and perfect for country. Instruments are played well. It's got hit potential.
