Guess Is as Good as Mine

I was throwin' pearl snaps in a suitcase

She was standin' in the bedroom doorway

Said, "Do you even when you're comin' back?"

"It just depends on if I make the short go, could be a week, could be tomorrow, baby, we both know we could use the cash

She said, "You better hope that I'm still here when you get home"

And I just smiled and said, "I hope there ain't no traffic on the road"

'Cause I can't help the man the good Lord made me

And you can't stand the fact that I just can't stand still

So when you ask why I live my life 8 seconds at a time

Honey, your guess is as good as mine

I was 80 miles out on the highway

I called the boys told 'em I was on my way, holler back when you know which one I draw

And that's about when the eyes in the rear view said, "You stupid boy, she really loves you and, man, I don't know you at all"

'Cause I can't help the man the good Lord made me

And you can't stand the fact that I just can't stand still

So when you ask why I live my life 8 seconds at a time

Buddy, your guess is as good as mine

♪

Then I hit the dirt headed back to her, with a bruised pride and busted knee

She said, "Boy, don't you think you should hang it up"

I said, "Girl, do you know me"

'Cause I can't help the man the good Lord made me

And you can't stand the fact that I just can't stand still

So when you ask why I live my life 8 seconds at a time

Honey, your guess is as good as mine

Yeah, you're guess is as good as mine
