Lyrics
A SINGLE GUY LIKE ME
CAPO 4
VERSE 1
My truck is all packed and I'm making a line for the city. This old town is
dying. Everyone is leaving. It's a doggone pity.
No one left but some widows and a couple of divorcees. This ain't the place
to be for a single guy like me.
CHORUS 1
I'm gonna head on down to Dallas and set up a bachelor pad. Find a good
paying job and have the best time I can have.
Meet a city girl or two. I hear those Dallas girls are fine. Wine em and dine
em and show em all a good time.
I'll have a good life just you wait and see. A life that's tailor made for a
single guy like me.
VERSE 2
I've been here for a few months and not a lot has changed. I can't find a
decent job and hardly no one knows my name.
I won't let this one experience put a bad taste in my mouth. So I'll take this
country act of mine and move it on down south.
A SINGLE GUY LIKE ME
CAPO 4
CHORUS 2
I'll move down to Austin and start all over there. Everything will be
different this time I swear.
I'll get into the club scene and maybe meet someone. They say those Music
City gals are hotter than the sun.
I can make it happen there. I'll live wild and free. It will be the perfect place
for a single guy like me. For a single guy like -- me. A single guy like me.
