Well I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer that makes his memory a no show
And I won't be chosen for his lovin' anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago

I dropped a quarter played 'Golden Ring' on the juke box
Placed my order with the guy behind the bar
And when he handed me a cold one, well I said keep the change darlin'
And as I drank it down I felt the healing start

Now I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer that makes his memory a no show
And I won't be chosen for his lovin' anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago

When he left me he took my brand new silverado
I started thumbin' and I finally hitched a ride
I just came in here to drink a beer and watch the rednecks fight
Now I don't feel so bad going home alone tonight

'Cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer that makes his memory a no show
And I won't be chosen for his lovin' anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago

And I won't be chosen for his lovin' anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago
Yes I'm one bud wiser
