Various Artists - Good Evening lyrics

[Intro] I'll make the music if you make it look good I don't dance but I think that you should Good evening's a greeting Good night is farewell Before you go, introduce yourself [Verse 1] There's a story to tell Wait to be seen, staring at the big screen One day, folks is gonna know me Hopefully, sing my songs at karaoke I'm thinking positive Even if it's fashionable to be the pessimist Skipped out of style went straight for vintage Can I get a "Yes, y'all!" from all the naysayers? Listen to me now or catch up to me later Do the kids still say "player haters"? I'm sorry, I forgot the disclaimers I was told not to be so defensive Man, was I offended Put a mic into the crowd Help me out now Finish the sentence [Bridge] I'll make the music if you make it look good I don't dance but I think that you should [Hook] Good evening's a greeting Good night is farewell Before you go, introduce yourself Good evening's a greeting Good night is farewell Nobody's leaving until... [Verse 2] There's a story to tell I'm at a loss for words, can I borrow yours? You could speak for yourself Or ask a ghost writer for help I need a story to tell To be a has-been, you have to have been On a porch swing, reminiscing poor decisions Should have done it different Fist full of accomplishments slipping through your fingertips Opportunities missed, fifteen minutes goes quick Off your seat and on your feet Half full or a half empty drink Work the room, gunshot wink Party people in the place to be [Bridge] [Hook x2] [Outro] There's a story to tell We'll take a happy ending Even if we're pretending We'll take a happy ending This time I'm not pretending [Hook x2]
