One Bud Wiser

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Grand Ol' Opry, here in Nashville, Tennessee. All the way from Pocahontas, Illinois, it's Gretchen Wilson.

Well, I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer
That makes his memory a no-show
And I won't be jonesin'
For his loving anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago

I dropped a quarter
Played Golden Ring on the juke box (thank you)
Placed my order
With the guy behind the bar
And when he handed me a cold one
Well, I said, keep the change, darlin'
And as I drank it down
I felt the healing start

Now I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer
That makes his memory a no-show
And I won't be jonesin'
For his loving anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago

When he left me
He took my brand new Silverado
I started thumbin'
And I finally hitched a ride
I just came in here to drink a beer
And watch the rednecks fight
Now I don't feel so bad
Going home alone tonight

'Cause I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago
I found an equalizer
That makes his memory a no-show
And I won't be jonesin'
For his loving anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago

And I won't be jonesin'
For his loving anymore
'Cause I'm one bud wiser
Than I was a minute ago
Yes, I'm one bud wiser
