Get It While You Can - The Infamous Stringdusters
Written by Danny Barnes
[Verse 1]
DThere's a woman out side with her red dress on
DGiving me cause to recollect my Amind
GShe don't see me with my torn up Dblue jeans on
DWondering why her good Aol' feller ain't got the Dtime
[Chorus]
GBetter get it while you can
Brother, Dget it while you can
DWhen I'm home from working I'm a hungry Aman
GI like your biscuits in my Dgravy ma'am
DBefore the stores all close Aget it while you DcanD  A  D  
[Verse 2]
DWhen I left home for to make my way
DSeeking fortune, what did I Afind?
GMy pick-up trucks on blocks, my Dlandlord changed my locks
DGot my hat in hand Awaiting in the welfare Dline
[Chorus]
GBetter get it while you can
Brother, Dget it while you can
DWhen I'm home from working I'm a hungry Aman
GI like your biscuits in my Dgravy ma'am
DBefore the stores all close Aget it while you DcanD  A  D  
[Verse 3]
DThere's a rich man thinks I'm out to underhand
DCause my car she don't shine when I Adrive
GI've never drawn a day of vacDation time
DI got a woman at home, she'll Aease my troubled Dmind
[Verse 4]
DMy motorcycle runs like greased up lightning, son
DAnd I know where the fish are gonna bite all Aday
GMy pistol barks like that old Dbulldog there
DI pay my bills, sing my Asongs and then I draw my Dpay
[Chorus]
GBetter get it while you can
Brother, Dget it while you can
DWhen I'm home from working I'm a hungry Aman
GI like your biscuits in my Dgravy ma'am
DBefore the stores all close Aget it while you DcanD  A  D
