Back on the Shelf

Rickey Tate

A funny song about someone’s poor luck in marriage. Not being judgmental, but sometimes we just need to laugh.

My first Ex-wife, she bet me, I’d never marry again
She said no woman with half a brain would have me for her man
Well, I proved her wrong two more times, now I’ve got 3 EX-wives
And my last 2 wives they theorize my first Ex-wife was right

I’m back on the shelf, I’m back on the rack…yea
Girls try me on for size, then they always put me back
Oh, women with rings are beautiful things I’ll never understand
I’m back on the shelf all by myself available again!

Now I’m not saying I’m perfect, I’ve made a mistake or two
But the ones that I keep making keep breaking my heart in to
You think I’d learn my lesson having lost at love once more
But here I am checking out who could be wife # 4

I’m back on the shelf. I’m back on the rack, yea.
Girls try me on for size then they always put me back.
Oh, women with rings are beautiful things I’ll never understand
I’m back on the shelf all by myself, available again!
I’m back on the shelf all by myself, available again!
