where's my truck? lyrics critique, up tempo country

i guess i must have had myself a drink or two last night
and looking at my face, i think i might have had a fight
i got me a gash up on the right side of my nose
and all these little rips & tears in my best party clothes
apparently i didn't win, must have had no luck
well, that's bad but the worst part is, i can't find my truck

my last recollection, trying to party until dawn
i must have accomplished that cause all my money's gone
i started with a wallet fat with 20 dollar bills
now that thing's as thin as the hair on stephen stills
it'll be next payday, before i have a buck
that's bad but the worst part is, i can't find my truck

(chorus) where's my truck, where's my truck?
it's whereabouts ain't clear to me
i've looked everywhere it ought to be
where's my truck, where's my truck?
searched all over for my rig
how do you lose a thing that big?

there must be someone out there who might, enlighten me
maybe give some details, bring back my memory
i just can't remember what it is that i forgot
and still i couldn't tell you, just who it was i fought
probly showed my rear end, acted like a schmuck
that's bad, but the worst part is, i can't find my truck

now if you gave me 20 options, and then you made me choose
my truck would be the one thing that i wouldn't want to lose
got to clean up my life, start acting like i'm grown
cause i just lost the sweetest ride, i have ever owned
now there's a knock, i peek out, it's my neighbor chuck
that's my dodge in his garage, thank God chuck drove my truck

there's my truck, there's my truck
well, chuck takes real good care of me
he's got my back as you can see
there's my truck, there's my truck
he made sure i didn't drive
that's probably why i'm still alive
(spoken) thanks chuck, i owe you one man
