Click here for the link to the lyrics at Galleywinter It’s a parody of Big & Rich’s “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowyboy”

It was done by Brad

or

Save a Joke, Write a Song

(intro)
We are DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM,
DE-DAA-DAAAAA
Yes, we are DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM,
DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!

Well, I walk into the room
Queer like $2 bills
And it kills and it thrills like my little midget friend Phil
And I get thrown out the bar upside down
And now you’ve got a frown
Because country music’s never gonna be the same

(Chorus:)
Cause I sold out my soul
and I got signed to a label
Tried to make good music
But I just wasn’t able
Homeless men down on Broadway
And an old one named Leroy
They all say
Save a joke, write a song
Everybody says
Save a joke, write a song

Well I don’t know how to sang or do nothing
But be stupid, hey at least that’s something
While the crowd is all
Walking out!
Just like I told ol Leroy
I’ll be the grand marshall or drum major
for your freak parade
We’re the only Mili Vanilli left in this town

Repeat Chorus:
Cause I sold out my soul
and I got signed to a label
Tried to make good music
But I just wasn’t able
Homeless men down on Broadway
And an old one named Leroy
They all say
Save a joke, write a song
Everybody says
Save a joke, write a song

Â
(Spoken:)
I’m extremely inbred
that’s what my mom said
conceived in my dad’s truck bed
As they were getting drunk
Out on some back country road.
My IQ’s not very high
School yard rhymes and marketing have the clock ticking on our 15 min fame time
And we’re goin just about as far as the public will let us go
And people’s evaluation
of our crappy reputation
and our misrepresentations
are all dead on
So I’m telling you now I’m real sorry
That I introduced our act to the country
And sang y’all every terrible song that I wrote
And yes we are dumb!

Cause I sold out my soul
and I got signed to a label
Tried to make good music
But I just wasn’t able
Homeless men down on Broadway
And an old one named Leroy
They all say
Save a joke, write a song
Everybody says
Save a joke, write a song

Kenny Chesney – Anything But Mine

 

Intro – E – A – E – A

 

(verse 1)
E A
Walkin along beneath the lights of that miracle mile,
E A
Me and Mary makin our way into the night,
E
You can hear the crowds from the carnaval rides
A
The pinball bells and the ski ball slides,
E A
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight

Â
(bridge)
B A
There’s a warm wind coming in, from off of the ocean
E A
makin it’s way past the hotel walls to feel the street,
E A
Mary’s holdin both of her shoes in her hand
E B E
Said she likes to fell the sand beneath her feet,

 

(chorus)
E A
And in them mornin I’m a leavin makin my way back to Cleveland,
E A
So tonight I hope, that I would do just fine,
E A
And I don’t see, how you could ever be,
E B E
any-thing but mine,

 

(verse 2)
There’s a local band playing at the seaside pavilion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we’re dancin Mary’s wrapping her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin
(bridge)
In the midst of the music I tell her I love her
We both laugh cause we know it isn’t true
Ah but Mary there’s a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there’s so much that I long to do to you
(chorus)
E A
But in them mornin I’m a leavin makin my way back to Cleveland,
E A
So tonight I hope, that I would do just fine,
E A
And I don’t see, how you could ever be,
E B E
any-thing but mine,

 

(lead – E – A – E – B = 2x’s)

Â
(chorus)
E A
But in them mornin I’m a leavin makin my way back to Cleveland,
E A
So tonight I hope, that I would do just fine,
E A
And I don’t see, how you could ever be,
E B E
any-thing but mine,
E A
Mary I don’t see, how you could ever be,
E B E
any-thing but mine,

 

(Outro – E – A – E – B – 2x’s)
(chorus)
E A
And in them mornin I’m a leavin makin my way back to Cleveland,
E A
So tonight I hope, that I would do just fine,
E A
And I don’t see, how you could ever be,
E B E
any-thing but mine,
