The song is about that moment in every man's life that he realizes he is no longer the free-wheeling dude he once was.
Lyrics
I Thought I Was A Stud
(Carey Moore/Martin Buchanan)
I was a wild-eyed, skirt-chasing, love-taking, trouble maker
Built Ford tough, every square inch a hell raiser.
The barroom king of this town.
Then a pretty little princess brought the hammer down.
chorus I THOUGHT I WAS A STUD
Till she got her nails in me.
My freedom’s gone I’m stuck at home
Like rebar in concrete
She pulled the plug Snipped the wires
Grabbed the bolt Squeezed the pliers
I THOUGHT I WAS A STUD
Till she got her nails in me.
Me and my crew, were being cool, shooting pool, then BAM!
She was red hair, green eyes, long legs and ooooh, maaaaan
A few nights was all it took.
Then she tore out the pages in my little black book.
rereat chorus
bridge
Now the closest thing to the wild life around here.
Is Animal Planet on TV and a moosehead on my beer.
How did I end up here?
rereat chorus
