    Backstory:
    Interesting story this one. Nancy and I actually began writing another song with a completely different hook. In the verses the last line was: "On the Back of the Receipt" depicting what ended up being this song. So we wrote it with that as the hook and this is the result.

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    Back of the Receipt Writers: Nancy Probst, Mike D. Nichols Key: A [Verse 1] I saw you through the window So I stopped for a bite to eat I wasn’t even hungry But you looked so pretty and sweet That I wrote “call me” on the back of the receipt [Chorus] Well you'd think I would know better But whenever I’m with you I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff And it all started, on the back of the receipt [Verse 2] One year later we went out to dinner Champagne cost too much so I ordered Chablis I paid the check, then suddenly I had an idea Your eyes widened as you smiled at me I wrote “will you marry me?”on the back of the receipt [Chorus] Well you'd think I would know better But whenever I’m with you I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff And it all started, on the back of the receipt [Instrumental] [Chorus] Well you'd think I would know better But whenever I’m with you I stumble, stutter and do dumb stuff And it all started, on the back of the receipt [Outro] Yeah it all started, On the back of a receipt.
