Better Keep Her
CHAD SANDERS
ABOUT THIS SONG
Every toolbox is missing a ten-millimeter socket, and he found his in a ball-cap girl who finds the lost one for him under the kitchen sink.
LYRICS
[Verse 1] Both on our backs on the kitchen floor Hot water leakin’ like the week before Her ball cap backward, ponytail through Those blue eyes laughed, “What’d you lose?” I dug through the toolbox, cussin’ again She held up a ten and flashed that grin [Chorus] Every toolbox has one gone’ You never seem to find Lost a ten-millimeter But I found mine Ain't walkin on eggs Don’t put on no show Wrangler jeans ball cap and the radio Rarer than gold, a whole lot sweeter She’s my ten millimeter Better Keep Her [Post-Chorus] Better keep her, better keep her She’s a perfect ten to me Better keep her, better keep her Hard to find and hard to beat [Verse 2] She ain’t worried ’bout breakin’ a nail Takes the doors off for a muddy trail Out past Guntersville, singin’ off-key Pointin’ out every truck she thinks fits me She gives it right back, and I can’t help but grin I’m hers for good, and I’m all in [Chorus] Every toolbox has one gone’ You never seem to find Lost a ten-millimeter But I found mine Ain't walkin on eggs Don’t put on no show Wrangler jeans ball cap and the radio Rarer than gold, a whole lot sweeter She’s my ten millimeter Better Keep Her [Bridge] Friday night, she puts that little dress on Walks in the room and my breath is gone Turns around, asks, “Does this look all right?” Girl, you don’t know what you’re doin’ tonight [b3 organ 2 bar interlude] [Final Chorus] Every toolbox has one gone’ You never seem to find Lost a ten-millimeter But I found mine Ain't walkin on eggs Don’t put on no show Wrangler jeans ball cap and a radio
