Scud Mountain Boys - Down in Writing lyrics

There ain't no use in trying to save her She's picking up fellas in a car I gave her I don't think that I should have to watch And she never would come home on time From cruising on down at the county line Riding with bikers and drinking in truck stops But they say a smart man He would have left her high and dry And they say a strong man He would have kept on trying They say a prudent man He gets his sleep at night They say a wise man He gets it down in writing I should have known that time When I was at the wheel You took my keys you took my bill of sale You left me with the baby And you bolt like a lightning shot And now the law can't seem to track her down Tearing up the pavement in my little town So I just sit and think Of all the other fellers that I'm not But they say a smart man He would have left her high and dry And they say a strong man He would have kept on trying They say a prudent man He gets his sleep at night They say a wise man He gets it down in writing
