SHAKY SAYS
(McCrea Adams)
It's mind over matter, just like Shaky says
I don't mind, and it don't matter
He comes over here looking for cigarettes
I don't smoke, but he don't remember
Shaky's my neighbor, he's fixing my car
it's up on jacks in his front yard
He's been at it for a week, hasn't got too far
he breaks for beer when the going gets hard
He says his wife's gone again
he takes a drink, he shrugs and then he says
There's lots of other fish in the lake
y' just got to know what to use for bait
Shaky says, he says it's just a game
Sometimes you pull ahead, sometimes you fall behind
Shaky says, it's really all the same
It don't matter and I don't mind
Shaky and me we've learned a thing or two
swing at the pitches, don't be a quitter
We like our coffee like we like our women
we like 'em murky and bitter
We may be out, but we're not down
and you're welcome to hang around
Don't ask me where I'm trying to go
what's it to ya? Who wants to know?
