Hard to Tell

Now the way things look around this town

Better find a pretty woman before the sun goes down

If you need a place to lay your head

Find a pretty little woman in a pretty big bed

You make like a fool, you stumble around

Better find you a woman before you buy another round

In like a lamb, out like a lion

One minute you're laughing, the next you're crying

It's hard to tell, hard to tell

You gotta get a woman, it's hard to tell

Can't be sure, can't be sure

Is she gonna be your pretty little girl?

Your pretty little girl

Better cut your hair, comb that mop

Shine them shoes, wear tails and top

Trim that 'stache, don't be slow

You gonna need it where you got to go

Hit that trail, ride that roan

And buck that limb when you get her back home

Buckle up, boys, don't think twice

And love that woman with all your might

It's hard to tell, hard to tell

You gotta get a woman, it's hard to tell

Can't be sure, can't be sure

Is she gonna be your pretty little girl?

Your pretty little girl

Now she don't call and she don't write

You're home with your mother every Saturday night

You see her on the town, she don't see you

We oughta quit courting and take up booze

You got another man, I'll make a bail for two

Got calico shorts and alligator shoes

There ain't no woman gonna waste her time

Waiting for a poor boy to drown her down

And it's hard to tell, hard to tell

You gotta get a woman, it's hard to tell

We can't be sure, can't be sure

Is she gonna be your pretty little girl?

Your pretty little girl

Oh, your pretty little girl
