Intro: (C) (C) (C) (C)
That (C) sleepy little campfire popped and kinda crackled
We were heating up the pork and (G) beans
And Bubba said, "man, it don't get get any better
than this if ya know what I (C) mean"
We sat there for a minute - listenin' to the crickets
Thinkin' this is hard to (F) beat
'Til (G) Junior stood up - spit in the fire
Said, "Boys, I hate to disagr(C)ee...
"But, if a (F) bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in (C) here
And (G) ol' T. Garcia Showed up with fajitas
And a hundred gallon keg of (C) beer
And (F) Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' re(C)quests
Now don't get me (C/B) wrong boys
(Am) This is pretty (G) good
But, it (F) could get (G) better than (C) this"
If Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat
And volunteered to be our fishing guides
And Richard Petty pulled up in that ol' 43 car
And asked us if we wanted a ride
We'd all sit around singin' Pancho & Lefty
Playin' poker - smokin' big cigars
Now don't take offense ya'll, I'm perfectly content
Just sittin' here, under the stars
"But, if a bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in here
And ol' Emeril Lagassee Showed up with kielbasa
And a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"
Solo
"But, if a bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in here
And Little Jimmy Dickens showed up with fried chicken
And a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"
