Tryin' Stuff On
(Parody of Randy Travis' 'Digging Up Bones')
Jerry Reed


Verse 1:
D
I took your photograph from our old dresser drawer


I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
                                   G
And then I saw your nightie on the table by the phone
D                 A                    D
So I been sittin' alone - tryin' stuff on.

Verse 2:
D
Then I went through your jewelry, for your clip-on hoop earrings


Your lipstick and your make-up, your accessories and things
                                            G
And I plundered throught your closet, til I found an extra long
D                       A                   D
Now I'm been sittin' at home - tryin' stuff on.




Chorus 1:
D
Trying stuff on, I'm tryin' stuff on
                                        A
Your six-inch heels and your Faberge co-logne
     D                                 G
You left me with your memories and the wardrobe that you owned
D                       A                   D
Now I'm been sittin' at home - tryin' stuff on.




Verse 3:
D
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
And then I thought, I'm much too cute, to sit here all alone
D                   A                      D
So now I'm at happy hour - with your stuff on.




Verse 4:
D
A trucker made a pass at me, so I hit him with your purse


The police stepped between us, before it got much worse
                                    G
And then that nice policeman said, can I take you home?
D                     A                    D
He didn't know it was me - with your stuff on.




Chorus 2:
D
With your stuff on, with your stuff on
                                          A
Your fish-net hose and your dress of pink chiffon
        D                                  G
Oh, you left me with your memories and the wardrobe that you owned
D                   A                        D
But I don't pay for drinks - with your stuff on.
