I Never thought     Chuck Hughes  ASCAP

I never thought I'd wind up in a lousy little place like this
There's a girl with breen teeth and she's getting' kinda hard to resist
There's a shot for me sittin' on the stage and tonight I'm feelin' my age
I never thought I'd wind up in a lousy little place like this

I never thought I'd play on a tiny little stage like this
Everytime we take a bow the audience starts to hiss
I could get to first bass on my looks if I could stand on telephone books
I never thought I'd play on a tiny little stage like this

I always thought I'd hitch up with a really pretty girl like you
But I wound up with a shrew and she's always tellin me what to do
I'd like to ask you for a date, but I can't afford to get home late
I guess I'll never wind up with a real pretty girl like you

I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this
Everytime we take a bow the audience starts to hiss
I'd quit the band if I had the nerve but I guess I'm getting what I deserve
I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this
