about

This is a fun track where the tables are turned on a couple, who at one point, cared about their appearances. The bonus part of the song is the title. If ever you are playing live and someone yells out to "Play the good one!", you can always meet their request.

lyrics

My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
Yes Indeed, She’s Wearing Them

She’s At The Bar And Looks Like A Nine
To Talk To Her I Had To Stand In Line
She Liked My Smile And She Liked My Charm
I Asked Her Out, She Said “What’s The Harm?”

The Next Day I Knock On Her Door
She Looked So Good, My Jaw Hit The Floor
Went To Dinner All The Heads They Turned
My Black Book I Just Burned, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
Yes Indeed, She’s Wearing Them

Bridge:
Fast Forward 20 Years
Lots Of Fights And Lots Of Tears
Watches Him Cheer On His Team
And Wonders Why The Crops So Lean
Wears Her Give Ups Instead Of Putting On Airs
Now She Walks Around With No Cares

My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
My Baby’s Wearin Give Ups Again
Yes Indeed, She’s Wearing Them
Yes Indeed, She’s Wearing Them
