Tommy Raye Tucker - You Learn Something New Everyday Lyrics

I had a rich old uncle who was kind
He said that when he left all his money would be mine
Well he kicked the bucket just the other night
That's when I learned he lost his fortune shootin' dice

Well you learn something new everyday
You may not always like it
But it just turns out that way
When you think you're so smart you've got it made
You learn something new that very day

My buddy said he had a new girlfriend
The prettiest thing he'd seen since he didn't know when
He took me out to meet his girl one night
That's when I learned that his girlfriend was my wife

Well you learn something new everyday
You may not always like it
But it just turns out that way
When you think you're so smart you've got it made
You learn something new that very day

The other day while walking down the street
A man came running by he
He dropped a black back at my feet
Now I ain't never done no one no harm
But now I'm pickin' cotton at the county prison farm

Well you learn something new everyday
You may not always like it
But it just turns out that way
When you think you're so smart you've got it made
You learn something new that very day
