Intro
Verse 1
One Sprinkler Quit Working, Just A Broken Line I Thought
A Hour With A Shovel And I'd Have That Problem Solved
Five Holes Later In The Yard, I Was Covered Head To Toe
Found The Break, Fixed The Pipe, Then The Timer Wouldn't Go
I've Got Spare Parts On The Workbench, Extra Screws Left In A Jar
Every Project Starts At Home Then Going Shopping In The Car
Chorus
All My Problems Start With, "I've Been Thinking"
Those Famous Last Words Before My Ship Starts Sinking
One Bright Idea And A Saturday Free Turns Into A Project That's Way Too Big For Me
Three Words That Should Come With Warning Lights Blinking
Cause All My Problems Start With, "I've Been Thinking"
Riff
Verse 2
The Awning On The Trailer Wouldn't Roll Up Like It Should
I Figured Just A Little Tweak Would Have It Working Good
I Started With The Tension Spring, Thought I'd Give It One More Turn
Next Thing I Knew The Roller Bent, Now I've Got A Big Concern
What Was Once A Simple Fix Became A Whole New Kind Of Pain
Now I'm Pricing Out Replacement Parts And Standing In The Rain
Chorus
All My Problems Start With, "I've Been Thinking"
Those Famous Last Words Before My Ship Starts Sinking
One Bright Idea And A Saturday Free Turns Into A Project That's Way Too Big For Me
Three Words That Should Come With Warning Lights Blinking
Cause All My Problems Start With, "I've Been Thinking"
Riff
Verse 3
The Pool Was Leaning Sideways, One Leg Was Sinking Down
I Said, "I'll Jack It Up A Bit," Before It Hits The Ground
Then I Heard That Ripping Sound, And My Stomach Hit The Floor
I Was Fixing One Small Problem, Now I've Got A Whole Lot More
Now There's Water In The Garden, Floating Halfway Down The Hill
I Was Trying To Save A Hundred Bucks, Now I've Got A Bigger Bill
Bridge
The Neighbors Watch The Whole Thing Like It's Evening Television
I Learned A Costly Lesson From Another Bad Decision
You'd Think I'd Learn My Lesson, But Still I Keep On Trying
Every Time I Say, "I've Been Thinking," Somebody Ends Up Crying
Chorus
All My Problems Start With, "I've Been Thinking"
Those Famous Last Words Before My Ship Starts Sinking
One Bright Idea And A Saturday Free Turns Into A Project That's Way Too Big For Me
Three Words That Should Come With Warning Lights Blinking
Cause All My Problems Start With,
I Said All My Problems Start With
"I've Been Thinking"
Outro Riff
