Song Lyrics

Okay, 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
Goodnight 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? Y'all 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
Goodnight is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

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

There’s a story to tell, I’m at a lost for words
Can I borrow yours? You could speak for yourself
Or ask a ghostwriter 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
Goodnight is farewell
Before you go introduce yourself

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

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