Tryin' Stuff On
(Parody of Randy Travis' 'Digging Up Bones')
Jerry Reed
Verse 1:
D MajorD
I took your photograph from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
G+G
And then I saw your nightie on the table by the phone
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
So I been sittin' alone - tryin' stuff on.
Verse 2:
D MajorD
Then I went through your jewelry, for your clip-on hoop earrings
Your lipstick and your make-up, your accessories and things
G+G
And I plundered throught your closet, til I found an extra long
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Now I'm been sittin' at home - tryin' stuff on.
Chorus 1:
D MajorD
Trying stuff on, I'm tryin' stuff on
A augmentedA
Your six-inch heels and your Faberge co-logne
D MajorD G+G
You left me with your memories and the wardrobe that you owned
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Now I'm been sittin' at home - tryin' stuff on.
Verse 3:
D MajorD
I put on your sequine ball gown and I checked the mirror there
I looked like Cindy Crawford, but with much more body hair
G+G
And then I thought, I'm much too cute, to sit here all alone
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
So now I'm at happy hour - with your stuff on.
Verse 4:
D MajorD
A augmentedA trucker made a pass at me, so I hit him with your purse
The police stepped between us, before it got much worse

And then that nice policeman said, can I take you home?
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
He didn't know it was me - with your stuff on.
Chorus 2:
D MajorD
With your stuff on, with your stuff on
A augmentedA
Your fish-net hose and your dress of pink chiffon
D MajorD G+G
Oh, you left me with your memories and the wardrobe that you owned
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But I don't pay for drinks - with your stuff on.
