"You showed me that dreams are just a waste of time, especially when them dreams are mine." - Rylan Brooks, The Day I Showed You

lyrics

The Day I Showed You
By, Rylan Brooks
ASCAP 2018

Well you showed me I'm an L-O-S-E-R unless I pick you up in a big fancy car.
You showed me that money, it's the only thing that matters,
And that I should spend it all just so you can get fatter.
You showed me that there ain't a whole lot to do except be a hundred percent devoted to you.
You showed that dreams are just a waste of time,
Especially when them dreams are mine.
Especially when them dreams are mine!

Thanks for showing me I wouldn't be ok unless I made them vows on our wedding day,
And thanks for showing me I wouldn't be alright unless I put that bacon on the table every night.

When you were cryin' at the alter 'cause I wasn't there,
I hope you learned like me that, baby, life ain't fair.
I left you with yourself,
There was nothing you could do,
And that's the day I showed you
That's the day I showed you!

[Rylan Talking]
Hon, lemme educate you on something now.
Every man's got his own life to live,
But, well, you had Brooks living yours.
Between what you was givin' him and the hard stuff,
Any man'd act a fool.
Scramble a man's brains, it's gonna sound a little something like this:

[Instrumental]

Well it was mid-September,
That's when we got together,
And I hated my life around June.
If i never ever, honey, saw you for forever,
Well I reckon it'd be too soon.
But you showed me how to spot a hidden' snake in the grass,
And now I got you on my pole so you can kiss my bass.
You wanted me to promise not to part 'till death....

Ha! If I were you, honey....
I wouldn't hold my breath.
No, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thanks for showing me I wouldn't be ok unless I made them vows on our wedding day,
And thanks for showing me I wouldn't be alright unless I put that bacon on the table every night.

When you were cryin' at the alter 'cause I wasn't there,
I hope you learned like me that, baby, life ain't fair.
I left you with yourself,
There was nothing you could do,
And that's the day I showed you
That's the day I showed you!
