At things that he don't eat.
Sometimes a man's caught lookin'
At things that he don't need.

Walkin' the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Walking the street with you in your one-eyed jeans
Walking the street with you in your worn-out jeans

An old guitar and a new party hat
An old guitar in a new Pontiac

That my emotions left.
Shave your cat and make a sweater.
Take your cap, but leave my sweater.
Take my cat and leave your sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.

Editor's note: There is a disagreement as to whether the word is "cat" or "cap"; I've checked various lyrics sites and they have either word. I'm gonna go with cap, since that seems to make sense in the context of this line...but until I see the liner notes of the album (or Mr. Urban enunciates this line), I'm leaving it this way.
Take your cat, he ate my sweater.
Take your cap and leave my sweater.
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your cat 'cuz I won't feed him.
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em.
You'll thank me.
You'll think of me.
And take your hat and leave my sweater
And take your cap and leave my sweater
But you're stinky
But you'll think of me
In this nice weather
And leave my sweater
Take your cap and leave, I swear.
Take you cap and leave my sweater.
We have nothing left to wear, though.

But when the sun went down, the record tipped over, the music fell

But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell

And our Tennessee bad attitudes.
With our rock 'n' roll t-shirts

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
It makes sense if you were drunk to make you sleep!

You're an ocean, you're an ocean.
You're a pot of mead that I can't do without.
You're a part of me that I can't do without.
Better say goodbye before this coaster falls.
Better say goodbye before we go too far.
Having going by so fine
Having going by so fast
She's a brand new bribe
She's a brand new bride

Just look at the sordid nun.
Just look at us holding on.
My mother took the wrong way
We might have took the long way
We beat the Oz together
We beat the odds together
We knew we'd get there Sunday
We knew we'd get there someday

From "Breakfast Barney"
To the sign-off prayer
If your headset's forgetting
If your head says forget it
You gotta wait and see
You've got a way it seems
You've got a way at Sears
You've got a way it seems
You've lost that loving theater.
You've lost that loving feeling.
I don't know what I'm sayin'
As my tremblin' fingers touch four little places
I don't know what I'm sayin'

And you know it's all for you.

And you know they adore you.
You make deodorant
You make my motor run
