Lyrics
Well, I went down to a Music City function
Where I just heard a song I had to have
My lawyers told me to proceed with caution
Or else you'll make a lot of songwriters mad
And I said, hey John Michael Montgomery
Won't mind if I take your song
And make it mine, all mine
Like I did so many times
With old Tim McGraw
Yeah, I've never heard anything sound so fine
Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines?
Well I stole it once, stole it twice
I stole it from a writer on Music Row
Well he just moved to town and he didn't know
About ASCAP, SESAC or BMI
So he might as well kiss his song goodbye
I had my number two pencil goin' about a mile a minute
'Til I had his ideas all written down
And I knew that I really went and did it
When the police came and hauled my butt downtown
And I said, hey John Michael Montgomery
Won't mind if I steal his song
And make it mine, all mine
Like I did so many times
With Tim McGraw
Yeah, I've never heard anything sound so fine
Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines?
Well I stole it once, stole it twice
I stole that song and I must confess
When I went to court, I pled no contest
Got a big fat lip and two black eyes
Never shoulda messed with his copyright
Yeah, I told the judge I had writer's block
But he hauled my butt away
And now it hurts too much to laugh about
The song I stole that day
When I said, hey John Michael Montgomery
Won't mind if I steal his song
And make it mine, all mine
Like I did so many times
With Tim McGraw
Yeah, I've never heard anything sound so fine
Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines?
So I stole it once, stole it twice
I stole it from a writer on Music Row
Well he just moved to town and he didn't know
About ASCAP, SESAC or BMI
Well he might as well kiss his song goodbye
I stole
Whee!
