[VERSE 1 — LEAD VOCAL]
Came home early Friday, boots still muddy from the job,
Found her tangled in the bedsheets with some dude named Billy Bob.
{steel guitar: sharp mocking “wah‑wah” slide}
{electric violin: short sarcastic trill}
{ad‑lib: “Well ain’t that somethin’…”}

Didn’t yell, didn’t cuss, didn’t even slam the door,
Just tipped my hat and told ’em both, “Y’all seen this place before.”
{call‑back: “Sure have!”}

‘Cause she’s the town’s main attraction, a well‑worn path at night,
An alley cat out prowlin’ every time I cut the lights.
Folks say she’s rolled in the hay more times than a baler on caffeine,
And I’ve heard every rumor, every whisper—you know the kind I mean.

But tonight I finally caught that fox in the henhouse, clear as I’ve ever seen—
That was the last barbed wire snapping, cutting me loose and setting me clean.
{electric guitar slide → steel guitar answer}
{modern keys: rising synth swell}
{ad‑lib: “I’m outta here!”}

[CHORUS — FULL BAND + GANG VOCALS]
{band explodes in}
{backing vocals echo key lines}
{dog bark cue: woof! before “truck”}
{electric violin harmonizes with steel}
{modern rock keys add bright chords}

Take it all—
Just leave my… just leave my… just leave my…
truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!  
{gang shout: “Yeah!”}

You can keep the drama, darlin’, I’m reclaimin’ my soul.
I’ll be crackin’ open a cold one where the river water rolls,
Me and my loyal sidekick at my favorite fishin’ hole.
Yeah, take it all—
Just leave my truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!
{electric guitar riff → steel slide → synth stab}

[VERSE 2 — LEAD VOCAL]
My truck starts every morning, even when the frost is thick,
Which is more than I can say for her heart—that thing never did click.
{steel guitar: long, low sorrowful bend upward}
{electric violin: slow emotional slide}
{modern keys: soft organ pad}

My dog don’t judge, don’t wander, don’t sneak out when it’s late,
He just hops up in the passenger seat and wags like life is great.
{dog bark cue: ruff!}

And that fishin’ pole? Man, it’s honest—
Only thing lyin’ at the hole is the bass in the weeds.
No secrets, no stories, no tangled‑up worries,
Just a man and the quiet he needs.
{ad‑lib: “That’s the truth…”}

[CHORUS — FULL BAND, EVEN BIGGER]
{electric violin + electric guitar harmonized intro lick}
{modern keys: bright rock chords}

Take it all—
Just leave my… just leave my… just leave my…
truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!  
{gang shout: “Let’s go!”}

You can keep the chaos, honey, I’m headin’ for control.
Where the water’s calm and steady, and the truth don’t take a toll,
I’ll be sippin’ on a six‑pack at my favorite fishin’ hole.
Yeah, take it all—
Just leave my truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!
{electric guitar run → steel guitar answer → synth swell}

[BRIDGE — DROPPED INSTRUMENTATION]
{music drops: thumping bass + mournful steel + soft electric violin pads}
{modern keys: atmospheric synth layer}
{ad‑lib, low: “Mm‑hmm…”}

Let the town keep talkin’, they been talkin’ ’bout you for years,
But out there by the river, nobody gossips to the deer.

I’ll trade your wild, unpredictable nights
For a sunrise hittin’ the water just right.
Girl, you ain’t a loss—you’re a lesson I survived,
And I’m finally feelin’ alive.
{electric violin + steel slide into final chorus}
{modern keys: rising synth swell}

[FINAL CHORUS — MAX ENERGY, GANG VOCALS]
{full band, biggest moment}
{dog bark cue: woof‑woof!}
{electric guitar + electric violin dual‑lead line}
{modern rock keys supporting with big chords}

Take it all—
Just leave my… just leave my… just leave my…
truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!  
{gang shout: “Woo!”}

You can chase another hayride, I’m done payin’ that toll.
I’ll be right where the peace is, where the good times take control,
Me, my loyal dog, and that old fishin’ hole.
Yeah, take it all—
Just leave my truck, dog, and fishin’ pole!
{ad‑lib: “Hit it!”}
{electric guitar + electric violin trading licks over synth pad}

[OUTRO — INSTRUMENTAL]
{big ringing G‑major chord}
{electric violin soaring run}
{pedal steel climbing riff → long fade}
{modern keys: shimmering synth tail}
{dog bark cue: arf!}
