Things Look Good Around Here — текст песни (Roger Creager)

Roger Creager



It`s 4 am and I just got home to my motel room so I picked up the phone. I figured you`d like to hear about the day I had. It`s been a real peach of a day today. The van had a blowout on the way. By 11 am it was already lookin` bad. We drove all the way to Amarillo. The people are warm but it`s always cold. It was raining outside and all our gear got soaked. But I didn`t know the crowd would dig our stuff because new towns are usually tough. They were singing along and they knew every song I wrote.



Things look good around here; the boys are in the parking lot still drinking beer. I don`t know if I`m ever going to get them inside. It sounds like a party out there. No worries, no cares. Things look good around here.



We sing all night and drive all day. Hey, there`s got to be a better way. When are we supposed to get our sleep? Sometimes, I love doing what I do. Other times I hate being away from you and sometimes I can`t believe I`m in this deep. Most times I get nervous inside. I try to hide it, that`s my pride, but I need a little encouragement now and then. Step out on the stage eyes wide. It always feels like my first time. I kick-off a tune then I`m all right again.



Things look good around here; the boys are in the parking lot still drinking beer. I don`t know if I`m ever going to get them inside. It sounds like a party out there. No worries, no cares. Things look good around here. What was I thinking, calling you this late, I guess I needed to hear your voice and say...



Things look good around here; the boys are in the parking lot still drinking beer. I don`t know if I`m ever going to get them inside. It`s gotta be a party out there. There`s no worries, no cares. Things look good around here.



I know we need some time alone. It`s not long now until I get home. I`m sorry I woke you. I hope that you`re not mad. But it`s 4 am and I just got home to my motel room so I picked up the phone. I figured you`d like to hear about the life I have.



Things look good around here. I`m heading to the parking lot to grab me a beer. There`s a party going on outside. This ain`t the first time through and it won`t be my last time true, but things look good around here.
