[Intro: driving acoustic, punchy drums, rolling bass, playful harmonica, MALE ONLY] Whew Long day Being me ain't for everybody [Verse 1: MALE ONLY, gritty raspy vocal, conversational swagger] Clocked my hours, came walking through the door Work boots hit the same old kitchen floor Kissed my woman, asked her how she's been Caught my reflection Had to look again Still got it She heard me and rolled her eyes I said, "Baby, that's jealousy in disguise" [Female SPOKEN only] Keep telling yourself that, handsome [Male spoken] See? Even she agrees [Pre Chorus: MALE ONLY, blues guitar curls around vocal] I ain't one to brag That's never been me [Female SPOKEN only] Oh, please [Male spoken] Baby, let me finish [Chorus: MALE ONLY, no female harmony, big rowdy lift, harmonica fills] It's exhausting being a trophy husband Looking this good ain't easy, honey Faithful, handsome, funny and charming Damn near perfect if you ask me I work all day, come home still stunning Keep you laughing, keep that good love coming She rolls her eyes every time I say it But she ain't put this trophy away yet [Post Chorus: harmonica lick, MALE ONLY] Still on display, baby [Female SPOKEN only] Unfortunately [Verse 2: MALE ONLY, bouncing bass, driving acoustic, blues guitar fills] I can change a tire I can fix a sink I can make her laugh when she's had a bad week I still hold the door Still reach for her hand And I clean up pretty damn good for an old man Got a little gray But it works somehow She liked me back then She should see me now [Female SPOKEN only] I see you every day [Male spoken] Exactly Lucky woman [Pre Chorus: MALE ONLY, drums build, harmonica answers] Dependable Loyal Built to last And modest as hell [Female SPOKEN only] You wanna try that last one again? [Chorus: MALE ONLY, no female harmony, full band, harmonica fills] It's exhausting being a trophy husband Looking this good ain't easy, honey Faithful, handsome, funny and charming Damn near perfect if you ask me I work all day, come home still stunning Keep you laughing, keep that good love coming She rolls her eyes every time I say it But she ain't put this trophy away yet [Instrumental: harmonica and dirty blues guitar trade licks] [Verse 3: MALE ONLY, quicker conversational swagger] Ten years in and I still got game She still smiles when somebody says my name Might be because they're warning her I'm coming But a smile's a smile And I'm counting something I know what she likes Know when something's wrong Know when she needs me And when to leave her alone That last one's wisdom Took a while to learn Couple close calls But I finally learned [Pre Chorus: MALE ONLY, bass, acoustic and cowbell] They say marriage takes patience Compromise and trust Apparently it also takes Putting up with us [Female SPOKEN only] Us? [Male spoken] Mostly you [Full band slams back in] OW! [Bridge: MALE ONLY, warm sincere vocal, acoustic and bass] All joking aside I know what I've got She's the best thing this old boy ever got She chose me once Still chooses me now And I don't take that lightly [Brief pause] [Male spoken, smug] But since we're being honest She did marry up [Female SPOKEN only] JACK [Male spoken] What? [Harmonica squeal, full band crashes in] [Final Chorus: MALE ONLY, no female harmony, biggest lift, self-doubled male vocal] It's exhausting being a trophy husband Looking this good ain't easy, honey Faithful, handsome, funny and charming Damn near perfect if you ask me I work all day, come home still stunning Keep her laughing, keep that good love coming She rolls her eyes but I know what that means That's ten years of living the dream Yeah, she can shake her head Call me full of it Tell everybody I'm a pain in the ass But every night She's still right here So this trophy must be built to last [Outro: acoustic and harmonica, relaxed smug male vocal] It's a burden But I carry it well [Female SPOKEN only] You're an idiot [Male spoken] Your idiot [Female SPOKEN only] Yeah Unfortunately [Harmonica lick] [Male spoken] Still counts
