OK, hold up

I’ll make the music if you make it look good
I don’t dance but I think that you should

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

There’s a story to tell
Wait to be seen staring at the big screen
One day folks is gonna know me
Hopefully sing my songs at karaoke
I’m thinking positive
Even if it’s fashionable to be the pessimist
Skipped out of style went straight to vintage
Can I get a yes ya’ll from all the naysayers
Listen to me now or catch up to me later
Do the kids still say player haters?
I’m sorry, I forgot the disclaimers
I was told not to be so defensive
Man was I offended
Put a mic into the crowd
Help me out now
Finish the sentence

I’ll make the music if you make it look good
I don’t dance but I think that you should

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Nobody’s leaving until

There’s a story to tell
I’m at a lost for words
Can I borrow your's?
You could speak for yourself
Or ask a ghost writer for help
I need a story to tell
To be a has-been you have to have been
On a porch swing reminiscing poor decisions
Should have done it different
Fist full of accomplishments slipping through your fingertips
Opportunities missed
Fifteen minutes goes quick
Off your seat and on your feet
Half full or a half empty drink
Work the room
Gunshot wink
Party people in the place to be

I’ll make the music if you make it look good
I don’t dance but I think that you should good


Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Nobody’s leaving until

There’s a story to tell
We’ll take a happy ending
Even if we’re pretending
We’ll take a happy ending
This time I’m not pretending

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

Good evening's a greeting
Good night is farewell
Nobody’s leaving until
