Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Grand ole Opry here in Nashville,
Tennessee. All the way from Pocahontas, Illinois, it's Gretchen Wilson.

(Chorus:)
Well I'm one bud wiser than i was a minute ago.
I found an equalizer that makes his memory a no show.
And I won't be jonesin' for his lovin' anymore,
cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago.

I dropped a quarter, played Golden Ring on the jukebox.
Placed my order with the guy behind the bar.
And when he handed me a cold one, well I said, "Keep the change, Darlin'."
And as I drank it down, I felt the healing start.

(Chorus)

When he left me, he took my brand-new Silverado.
I started thumbin' and I finally hitched a ride.
I just came in here to drink a beer and watch the rednecks fight.
Now I don't feel so bad goin' home alone tonight.

(Chorus)

And I won't be jonsein' for his lovin' any more,
cause I'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago.

Yes, I'm one bud wiser.
