Who doesn't know this song or artist! Another staple of our live sets and just a great song by a great songwriter, we try and do it some justice here!
People may know this from the Johnny Paycheck, or even Tracy Byrd country versions. It's the Johnny Paycheck version im covering, however It was written by Gary U.S. Bonds and Jerry Williams Jr. (aka: Swamp Dogg). I was listening to a podcast that interviews songwriters a few years ago and learned all about Swamp Dogg and his story. Come to find he wrote this song that I already knew and loved!
She isn’t like the other girls
She is there for me
Nothing she wouldn’t do
Anything for you, you’re my VIP
And I would do the same for you
Whatever’s hittin’ the spot
Everything and more
I would’ve done before, I just honestly forgot
I honestly forgot, yes I honestly forgot
You can believe it or not
thinking everything you thought
But I honestly forgot
She would go around the world
Im super seriously
She’d find me in the dark
even jump a shark on a water ski
Just gotta tell me what to do
I ain’t an astronaut
I’d hold open the door
I’d lay down on the floor until the gettin’ gets got
I would do the same for you
And not to thicken the plot
(but) Everything and more
I would’ve done before, I just honestly forgot
I honestly forgot, yes I honestly forgot
You can believe it or not
Thinking everything you thot
But I honestly forgot
I honestly forgot, yes I honestly forgot
Give me another shot
It doesn’t happen a lot
And I honestly forgot
You can count on having at least one of these false starts everytime we get together.
