| I Ain't Built Like a Fencepost Written by, Marci Hanshue Copyright, July 3, 2001 |
Chorus I ain't built like a fencepost So why you treat me like one? I'm not splintered or discolored I ain't spent all my days in the sun If you keep passin' me by like you do I might just be steppin out... I might be steppin' out on you |
|
Verse 1 I spend all day a cookin' Just to put meat on your bones You take you're time a eatin' Like you're dinin' here alone If you're set on bein', an ungrateful ol' fool I might just be steppin out... I might be steppin' out on you Verse 2 I've spent some time improvin' My hospitality Must be spinnin' my wheels Cause you're husband number three Mama would say, I don't know how to choose But darlin' at this point There ain't much that I got to lose |

Chorus But I sure ain't built like a fencepost, Why you go & treat me like you do Might not be as glamorous as most But I still turn a head or two If you keep actin' like, I don't mean much to you I might just be steppin' out... I might be steppin' out on you Bridge Boy, I pour all your drinks I know how you take your steak It's hard to believe, but I got a few needs too... |
Tag Ya, right now I look good enough To be steppin' out on you Steppin' out on you.... |
| The Benefit of My Doubt Written by, Marci Hanshue Copyright, July 4, 2001 |
| Chorus And I ain't built like a fencepost So don't you be treatin' me like one Right now my hair's piled up And all my nails are done If you keep insistin' on makin' this girl blue I might just be steppin' out I might be steppin' out on you |
| How many years, have I believed in you now? Wiped every drop of sweat, from your brow And you've always had the benefit, of the doubt Now, it's four in the morning, and I'm warn out Can't quite recall, what we fought about I've checked the bathroom, I've checked the couch Knowin' you, you mighta passed clean out See you always get the benefit of my doubt Ya, you always get the benefit of my doubt I get that familiar, lump in my throat Can't help but seem, like this is gettin' old I've checked for your keys, I've checked for your coat That I know the chances of finding, are remote But you always get the benefit of my doubt Ya, you always get the benefit of my doubt Maybe you left before I got up Maybe I didn't hear your pick-up truck Maybe I was sleeping pretty sound... See you always get the benefit of my doubt Ya, you always get the benefit of my doubt |
| I hear your truck comin' up the drive Damn lucky again, you made it home alive I've checked my hair, I've checked my eyes Six in the mornin' comin' around... And you've just lost the benefit, of my doubt You just lost the benefit, of my doubt Start the coffee, make you some juice But I have more important, things to do I used to check for lipstick, I'd check for rouge There's no telling what it was, you'd get into Back when you had, the benefit of my doubt Back when you had, the benefit of my doubt It's hard to leave without sayin' a word... Harder to stay when you're never heard... How many years, have I worn this ring now? If I slip it on the table, will you figure it out? I finish up the dishes, and kiss you on the mouth And give you one last benefit, of the doubt Give you one last benefit, of the doubt |
