Well I went down to a Music City function   Where I just heard a song that I had to howl out   My lawyers told my to proceed with caution   Or I'd make a whole lot of songwriters mad      Uh-huh      And I said   Hey John Michael Montgomery won't mind    If I take a song and make it mine all mine   Like I did so many times with old Tim McGraw's   Yeah I never heard anything sound so fine   Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines   Well I stole it once stole it twice   I STOLE it from a writer on Music Row   Well he just moved to town and he didn't know   About ASCAP, SESAC, or BMI   So he might as well kiss his song goodbye      I had my number two pencil going about a mile a minute   Till I had his ideas all written down   And I knew I really went and did it   When the police came and hauled my butt downtown      And I said   Hey John Michael Montgomery won't mind    If I steal a song and make it mine all mine   Like I did so many times with Tim McGraw's   Yeah I never heard anything sound so fine   Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines   Well I stole it once stole it twice   I STOLE that song and I must confess   When I went to court I plead no contest   Got a big fat lip and two black eyes   Never should have messed with his copyright      Yeah   I told the judge I had writers block but he hauled my butt away   And now it hurts too much to laugh about the song I stole that day      When I said   Hey John Michael Montgomery won't mind    If I steal a song and make it mine all mine   Like I did so many times with Tim McGraw   Yeah I never heard anything sound so fine   Mind if I borrow one or two of your lines   So I stole it once stole it twice   I STOLE it from a writer on Music Row   Well he just moved to town and he didn't know   About ASCAP, SESAC, or BMI   So he might as well kiss his song goodbye   (GASP)   EYE      STOLE       WHEE!!!!
