Country Lyrics Eric Loves, Part 1

When Eric came to his first country dance competition, this song was played for Pro-Am twostep, which meant he had to listen to it for 18 back to back heats. He thought it was the funniest song he'd ever heard, and every so often out of the blue he'll come up to me and say, "....I've got too many pockets on my shirt..."


Too Many Pockets
by Darryl Worley



I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse
Too many things that I could do today
Too many stops along the way

I miss the way it used to be
Back when there were just two channels on T.V.
That way of life was so much easier
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use

I'm gonna find a one-lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use

I'm gonna find a one lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Wish I could get back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many pockets on my shirt
