Good To Me: Track 10

lyrics

It was his 3rd bar that week
It doesn't pay the rent when you play
For beer and gasoline
But he had dreams
Bigger than this town
And he prayed every night the neon lights
Would help him be found

Then one day
He made a demo CD
Packed up all his things
Moved to Tennessee
He played it for all who would listen
All them suits up in the suites
They said "boy, something's missing
You'll never fill the seats
Just take it from me"

Cuz He ain't got the look
He ain't got the style
He ain't got that thing
That drives the ladies wild
He ain't got the boots
He ain't got that down home drawl
But he's got the songs

Well he spent the next few years
Trying to prove them wrong
Putting all his heart and soul and time
Into writing brand new songs about
Love and loss and heartache
Scars and broken dreams
Waylon, whiskey and women
And what life really means

Then one day just after closing
A man with his own show said
"You ever dream of playing
On that country radio"
And they played it for all who would listen
And that boy lit up the lines
Said "you got what country's missing
We'll make the suits change their minds
What the hell was on their minds saying?"

Cuz He ain't got the look
He ain't got the style
He ain't got that thing
That drives the ladies wild
He ain't got the boots
He ain't got that down home drawl
But he's got the songs

Well the crowds
They grew bigger
And he was living his dream
He's got everything he wants in life
And everything he needs

Cuz he's got the look
And he's got the style
And he's got the girls
Cuz he drives them wild
And he's got the crowds
And they're all just singing along
Cuz he's got the songs
