One Hit Song

 


We’ve been at it twenty years now

It’s a blessing and a curse

We got plenty of experience

But our memory's getting worse

 

We headed down to Nashville

But ended like the rest

We don’t have pretty faces

And our voices aren’t the best

 

Just give us one hit song

We’ll play it all night long

 

We’ve had it with the bar scene

It’s the hardest work of all

The wrong guy gets to drinking

You might end up in a brawl

 

We’ve hired other pickers

A fiddle man or two

We’ve got some nice equipment

Three payments over due

 

Just give us one hit song

We’ll play it all night long

Just give us one hit song

Let the radio play it all day long

 

We were looking for the forest

But we spun out in the trees

We had a taste of whiskey

And smoked a bowl of cheese

 

We thought we had a hit song

Wrote it on a grocery sack

But that old Dakota wind came up

And blew it out the back

 

We need that one hit song

We’ll play it all night long

 

So now it’s quite a struggle

Just to get along

We all go kind of crazy

Trying to write so many songs

 

Sometimes we tip the bottle

And we’ve been known to hack

We might not be the greatest

But at least we’re not on smack

 

We need that one hit song

We’ll play it all night long

Just give us one hit song

Let the radio play all day long

 

We were looking for the forest

But we spun out in the trees

We had a taste of whiskey

And smoked a bowl of cheese

 

We thought we had a hit song

Wrote it on a grocery sack

But that old Dakota wind came up

And blew it out the back

 

Just give us one hit song

We’ll play it all day long

Just give us one hit song

Let the radio play it all night long
