Lyric Pick Em Up And Lay Em Down

She said the man s goin home with me
She told the bar she was takin all bets
Well never trust a woman drinkin whiskey
That lights her own cigarette
I started callin her baby, temptation was drivin me wild
I think the only thing that saved me
It s just not my style

Cause I m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin
I m as lonely as any man around
I just don t like to pick em up and lay em down
Lay em down
Pick em up and lay em down

So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups
A corner booth where the lights got dim
We started talkin bout gettin real close
About how, and about when
It started rainin harder and harder
I got up and with a thoughtful smile
I said, "Honey, if that ain t thunder and lightnin
It just ain t worthwhile"

I m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin
I m as lonely as any man around
I just don t like to pick em up and lay em down
Lay em down, down, down, down, down

I turned around and gave her one last smile
And thought about one long kiss
But that would be takin it too far baby
And maybe something I couldn t resist

I m not the kind of man that goes out just lookin for a woman
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
I m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin
I m as lonely as any man around
I just don t like to pick em up and lay em down
Lay em down
Pick em up and lay em down
Lay em down

If it ain t about thunder and lightnin
It just ain t worthwhile
Lord knows it just ain t my style
Pick em up and lay em down, down, down, down, down
Pick em up and lay em down
