Lyrics

SONGS WORTH THE SINGING (Graham-Gleeson-Moore)

IT WAS A HILLBILLY SYMPHONY BLASTING FROM THE BARS
THE STREETS WERE BLENDING SONGS OF WANNABE STARS
BARKEEPS WERE PUSHING BEER TO ALL THE EMPTY HANDS
THE TOURIST BUYING DRINKS FOR THE BOYS IN THE BAND

JIMMY HAD THE WORDS BUT THE BOY AIN'T GOT NO VOICE
SAD SADDIE HAS THE LONESOME CRY THOUGH NOT BY CHOICE

HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES 'TWEEN THE BUZZ AND THE HANGOVER
HERE'S TO THE GOOD LINES LOOKING FOR LOVE UNDER FOUR LEAF CLOVERS
THE ANGELS BLOCK THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL'S SORE THE VALLEY IS SO QUIET
BUT THEY’RE BEGGING FOR MORE
SO HERE'S TO THE SONGS THAT KEEPS THE EARS RINGING
AND HERE'S TO THE WORDS THAT MAKE SONGS WORTH THE SINGING

SADIE BUMP INTO JIMMY THEIR HEART STARTED BEATING WILD
THEY TURNED THAT INTO LYRICS THEN PLAYED FOR THE CROWD
THEY KEPT CHURNING UNTIL THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP
PUT THOSE TWO TOGETHER WHAT YOU GET IS SMOKING HOT

THE MUSIC MAN WAS CLINGING TO HIS LAST WILD HAIR
OH HE KNEW HERE'S HIS CHANCE HE COULD STRIKE PLATINUM THEN AND THERE

HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES 'TWEEN THE BUZZ AND THE HANGOVER
HERE'S TO THE GOOD LINES LOOKING FOR LOVE UNDER FOUR LEAF CLOVERS
THE ANGELS BLOCK THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL'S SORE THE VALLEY IS SO QUIET
BUT THEY’RE BEGGING FOR MORE
SO HERE'S TO THE SONGS THAT KEEPS THE EARS RINGING
AND HERE'S TO THE WORDS THAT MAKE SONGS WORTH THE SINGING
