Lyrics:

“Whole Lot More Than That”

If I want a new truck, gonna need more money
If I want more sugar, gonna need a new honey
If I’m going to the dance, gotta get a new hat
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than thatIf I’m gonna watch a game, gonna need me a boob tube
If I’m gonna to the lake, gotta take an igloo
If I’m gonna catch a buzz, gonna need me a twelve pack
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that

Going to need more whiskey, than one man can drink
Drown this memory, that just won’t sink
I’ve hit rock bottom, in this bottle of Jack
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that

If I need me a hangout, I’ll find me a hot spot
If I need me a new song, gonna find me a jukebox
If I need me a kitty, I’ll find me a cat
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that

Going to need more whiskey, than one man can drink
Drown this memory, that just won’t sink
‘Cause I’ve hit rock bottom, in this bottle of Jack
So getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that

Going to need more whiskey, than one man can drink
Drown this memory, that just won’t sink
I’ve hit rock bottom, in this bottle of Jack
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that
Getting over you’s gonna take me a whole lot more than that

Gonna take a little bit more than that
