he works way too much
for way too little
he drinks way too early ’til
way too late
he hasn’t had a raise
since new year’s day
in eightyeight
gets trampled on by everyone ‘cept
when he comes in here
and he’s the product
of the haggard generation
he’s got a redneck side
when you get him agitated
he got the gold toothed look
from a stiff right hook
he’s proud he took
for his right wing stand on vietnam
says he lost his brother there
he yells out johnny cash
and the band starts to play
aring of fire as he walks up
and stands there by the stage
and he says
ahell yeah
aturn it up
aright on
ahell yeah
asounds good
sing that song
a man playin’ all night long
take me back to where the music hit me
life was good and love was easy
she’s got an mba and a plush corner office
she’s got a don’t mess with me attitude
she’ll close a deal
she don’t reveal that she can feel
the loneliness the emptiness
‘cept when she comes in here
4
and she’s the product of the me generation
she’s got a rock and roll side
when you get her agitated
she got the tattoo there
on her derriere
from a spring break dare in panama
where love was all she thought she’d ever need
she yells out to the band
know any bruce springsteen
then she jumps up on the bar
and she and she starts to scream
she says
hell yeah
turn it up
aright on
ahell yeah
asounds good
sing that song
a man playin’ all night long
take me back to where the music hit me
life was good
love was easy
yeah yeah

monday tuesday wednesday thursday
hey hell yeah

sing that song
a man playin’ all night long
take me back to where the music hit me
life was good
hell yeah
aturn it up
aright on
hell yeah
asounds good
sing that song
a man playin’ all night long
take me back to where the music hit me
when life was good
and love was easy
