Well sit down honey gotta have us a talk  

You man is a little upset  

There's a couple of things that's been missin' 

And I ain't found em yet  

I ain't pointin' no fingers ain't layin' no blame  
                          A 
And I don't wanna lose my cool  
        E                      A 
But you just don't fool with a Country Boy's tool 
     E    D A  
Tool Box.  
 

          E 
Now did I hear you right you loaned out  

To the neighbor down the road  

Hey I just as soon you let him have my ole bird dog  

Or my favorite fishing pole                              

Now there's one little lesson that you need to learn 
                              A  
That they just don't teach in school 
    E                      A 
You just don't fool with a Country Boy's tool  
     E     
Tool Box. 
 

       A      E            A 
It was handed down from my daddy's dad  
        E 
Back in nineteen forty-two 
         A  
And they may be rusty and they might be old  
                                 B 
But they're kinda like my family jewels  
      E 
Honey I love you but there's something else too  
                              A 
That I care about a heck of a lot  
       E                      A 
Oh you just don't fool with a Country Boy's tool  
     E    D A 
Tool Box.   
 

      E 
Now I don't wanna hurt your tender heart  

And I really do understand  

That a friend in need is a friend indeed  

And you offered a helping hand  

But it something gets broke and it's gotta be fixed 
                            A  
Well I don't blame you know who  
 

          E                      A         
Cause you just don't fool with a Country Boy's tool 
     E     
Tool Box.
