I Wrote The Book lyrics
This country song is about a jack of all trades who is good at everything but he is not too good at managing his personal life. Despite being good at his work and hobbies, the protagonist has an inability to live up to the moral expectations of his significant other, leading her to eventually leave him. He is then reminded of the moral values he was expected to live up to, represented by the book on the nightstand that he never read. The song expresses the importance of living up to moral values and how life should be lived.

When it comes to hitchin’ the boat up
Backin’ down the ramp in my old truck
To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the bookIf you wanna learn to throw a curve right
Catch a clean up lookin’ on a third strike
Talk a little smack while he’s walkin’ back
Yeah, I wrote the bookBut there’s one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
One that says don’t cuss and don’t fight
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
But damn if I don’t do it every Friday night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain’t gettin’ read enough to keep me on a straight line
I’m a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't writeI met a good girl, she had her life straight
She said she loved that I was good at everything
One day she left me in a cloud of dust
‘Cause I never was too good at pickin’ upThe one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
One that says don’t cuss and don’t fight
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
But damn if I don’t do it every Friday night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain’t gettin’ read enough to keep me on a straight line
I’m a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
That's one book I didn't writeYeah, the good Lord knows I need it
I didn’t write it, but I probably oughta read itThe one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand
One that says don’t cuss and don’t fight
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man
But damn if I don’t do it every Friday night
Those get you into Heaven letters in red
Ain’t gettin’ read enough to keep me on a straight line
I’m a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say
That’s one book I didn’t write
That’s one book I didn’t write
That’s one book I didn’t write
