Carryin' On This Way
Written and recorded by Dale Watson
[Verse 1]
CGood mornin' fella you don't look too good Dmtoday
Your eyes are red your skin is pale
You look like G7you could use a Cshave
You had a good time last night look at the price you had to Dmpay
You think that you'd know better than to still
Be G7carryin' on this Cway
[Verse 2]
Look at the gray stickin' out of your Dmhair
You think that you could take a hint
There's a G7reason mother nature put it Cthere
While you're out there makin' more wrinkles
Your family's makin' more memories everyDmday
Y think that you'd know better than to still
Be G7carryin' on this Cway
[Chorus]
FCrashin' into Am40 might better G7think about growin' Cup
You got a Dmwife and kids that lean on you are you strong G7enough
Get Fdown off your Amhigh horse ain't noG7body listenin' to what you Csay
You Dmthink that you'd know better than to still
Be G7carryin' on this Cway
[Verse 3]
I rinse off the toothbrush put the lid back on the toothpaste Dmtube
Then I look up in the mirror just to get me one more good G7look at Cyou
Man you can't be as dumb as you look it ain't too late to make a Dmchange
You think that you'd know better than to still
Be G7carryin' on this Cway
[Chorus]
FCrashin' into Am40 might better G7think about growin' Cup
