She's been goin' out with him She's been goin' out with me Said she'd let us know by tonight Which one it would be So I waited by the phone But she never called me up Had to know what was goin' on So, I drove by her house and sure enough That ain't my truck in her drive Man this ain't my day tonight Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck That ain't my shadow on her wall Lord this don't look good at all That's my girl my whole world But that ain't my truck I pulled over by the curb I've been sittin' here all night Wonderin' what it was I did so wrong That he did so right I've thought of breakin' down her door But there's nothin' left to say That chevy four-by-four Says it all sittin' in my place That ain't my truck in her drive Man this ain't my day tonight Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck That ain't my shadow on her wall Lord this don't look good at all That's my girl my whole world But that ain't my truck That ain't my shadow on her wall Lord this don't look good at all That's my girl my whole world But that ain't my truck That's my girl my whole world But that ain't my truck
