Save the Last Ugly One For Me
By, Rylan Brooks
ASCAP 2018
I ain't lookin' for no southern bell 'cause she'll only bring me pain.
She looks real good and she smells real nice but she'll only bring the rain.
Just pick the fruit right off the ground or find one hangin' low.
That beer soaked cutie with a bow-legged booty's the one I wanna know.
Well I've seen myself a few times and I ain't the best catch in the pond.
It don't matter to me if she's big and mean,
Or blue, or bald, or blond.
Just fill my glass and wake me up when I fall out of my chair.
Then send me home with a homely honey who can hug me like a bear.
When the whiskey's all gone and the dancing's all been done,
And there's nothin' left except losers and slim pickins.
It's a lonely place to be with a cross eyed two or three,
But please save the last ugly one for me!
Save the last ugly one for me.
Now I don't want no high maintenance mama that I gotta fix.
Just gimme that big rig Country body and a face with a little twist.
Oh she might be awfully dusty, but in the dark it's hard to say.
But that won't stop this bull-haulin' bubba from ridin' her all the way.
Yeah!
When the whiskey's all gone and the dancing's all been done,
And there's nothin' left except losers and slim pickins.
It's a lonely place to be with a cross eyed two or three,
But please save the last ugly one for me!
Save the last ugly one for me.
