LYRICS, THE STORY IN THE MUSIC
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry
{c: Chorus}
I ain’t the best there is but I’ll do till he gets here
Don’t you know that I’d do a whole lot better
If you’d spot me a couple beers
I’ve learned that showing up is the first step to
Getting things right
I know what you want but I got what
I got and I’m here with you tonight
{c: Verse 1:}
Stepped into this Roadhouse I know just off highway 441
To play a Friday night show
Get drunk and have a little fun
They said “Play some Skynyrd and Hank
With that old Country tone
Here in this Honky Tonk boys
You’d better take us back home”
There’s just a few songs I know
Most of them are sweet and slow
Up on that stage tonight I’ll have y’all feeling alright
{c: Chorus}
I ain’t the best there is but I’ll do till he gets here
Don’t you know that I’d do a whole lot better
If you’d bought me a couple beers
I’ve learned that showing up is the first step to
Getting things right
I know what want but I got what
I got and I’m here with you tonight
{c: Verse 2:}
Went to see my woman last week
The gal I call my main squeeze
She gives me love when I want
I don’t mind being taught she is a friend to me
She says “love me like a Cowboy can
Give me the very best you’ve got
Get you lasso and your boots
Let’s spend the night all tied up in knots”
There’s just a few tricks I know
Most of them are sweet and slow
Do my best to rock your world
Have you feeling like you’re my only girl
{c: Chorus}
I ain’t the best there is but I’ll do till he gets here
Don’t you know that I’d do a whole lot better
if you gave me a couple beers
I’ve learned that showing up is the first step to
getting things right
I know what you want but I got what
I got and I’m here with you tonight
{c: Verse 3:}
I make a little money on the side
Riding bulls and holding on for my life
But this Saturday night’s got me on a steer
By the name of Broken Bones
”Ride ‘em now Cowboy!” show us
Where you come from
You got eight seconds son, to show us what you’re made of
There’s just a few cows I know
Most of them are sweet and slow
Up in the arena tonight
Gonna ride this old boy into the light
{c: Chorus}
I ain’t the best there is but I’ll do till he gets here
Don’t you know that I’d do a whole lot better
if I threw back a couple beers
I’ve learned that showing up is the first step to
Getting things right
I know what you want but I got what
I got and I’m here with you tonight
