Mac McAnally - If You Hang Around Long Enough lyrics

A beer bottle thrown across the room Hits the wall behind my head and boom There goes another fine day dream A real model, a hero of my youth A man that only sings the truth Was just sitting down to talk to me Said, son, the secret of my overnight success Was hard work and luck for twenty years and nothing less If you hang around long enough If you can have a good time when times are tough Then maybe, just maybe You get around to figure it out What you can do and do without And you recognize the real stuff If you hang around long enough Well, a bar talk is politics and work Women rule and men are jerks And I say, what else is new And the waitress is hot and the beer is cold Feeling young and getting old But I don't know what I'd rather do The quarter drops, Merle Haggard sings The Way I Am The people eye when they say they don't give a damn And if you hang around long enough If you can have a good time when times are tough Then maybe, just maybe You get around to figure it out What you can do and do without And you recognize the real stuff If you hang around long enough Some days I may not have a clue Some days I may figure out a thing or two And if you hang around long enough If you can have a good time when times are tough Then maybe, just maybe You get around to figure it out What you can do and do without And you recognize the real stuff You appreciate the real stuff If you hang around long enough Hang around long enough
