One Bud Wiser

Ladies and gentlemen

Welcome to the Grand Ol' Opry, here in Nashville, Tennessee

All the way from Pocahontas, Illinois, it's Gretchen Wilson

Well, I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

I found an equalizer

That makes his memory a no-show

And I won't be jonesin'

For his loving, anymore

'Cause I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

I dropped a quarter

Played Golden Ring on the jukebox (thank you)

Placed my order

With the guy behind the bar

And when he handed me a cold one

Well, I said, keep the change, darlin'

And as I drank it down, I felt the healing start

Now I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

I found an equalizer

That makes his memory a no-show

And I won't be jonesin'

For his loving, anymore

'Cause I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

When he left me

He took my brand-new Silverado

I started thumbin'

And I finally hitched a ride

I just came in here to drink a beer

And watch the rednecks fight

Now I don't feel so bad

Going home alone tonight (what's up, Gretchen)

'Cause I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

I found an equalizer

That makes his memory a no-show

And I won't be jonesin'

For his loving, anymore

'Cause I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

And I won't be jonesin'

For his loving, anymore

'Cause I'm one bud wiser

Than I was a minute ago

Yes, I'm one bud wiser
