Get It While You Can

(Album: The Infamous Stringdusters - 2008)

There's a woman out side with her red dress on
Giving me cause to recollect my mind
She don't see me with my torn up blue jeans on
Wondering why her good ol' feller ain't got the time

Better get it while you can
Brother, get it while you can
When I'm home from working I'm a hungry man
I like your biscuits in my gravy ma'am
Before the stores all close get it while you can

When I left home for to make my way
Seeking fortune, what did I find?
My pick-up trucks on blocks, my landlord changed my locks
Got my hat in hand waiting in the welfare line

Better get it while you can
Brother, get it while you can
When I'm home from working I'm a hungry man
I like your biscuits in my gravy ma'am
Before the stores all close get it while you can

There's a rich man thinks I'm out to underhand
Cause my car she don't shine when I drive
I've never drawn a day of vacation time
I got a woman at home, she'll ease my troubled mind

My motorcycle runs like greased up lightning, son
And I know where the fish are gonna bite all day
My pistol barks like that old bulldog there
I pay my bills, sing my songs and then I draw my pay
