Get It While You Can - The Infamous Stringdusters
Written by Danny Barnes
[Verse 1]
D
There's a woman out side with her red dress on
D A
Giving me cause to recollect my mind
G D
She don't see me with my torn up blue jeans on
D A D
Wondering why her good ol' feller ain't got the time
[Chorus]
G
Better get it while you can
D
Brother, get it while you can
D A
When I'm home from working I'm a hungry man
G D
I like your biscuits in my gravy ma'am
D A D D A D
Before the stores all close get it while you can
[Verse 2]
D
When I left home for to make my way
D A
Seeking fortune, what did I find?
G D
My pick-up trucks on blocks, my landlord changed my locks
D A D
Got my hat in hand waiting in the welfare line
[Chorus]
G
Better get it while you can
D
Brother, get it while you can
D A
When I'm home from working I'm a hungry man
G D
I like your biscuits in my gravy ma'am
D A D D A D
Before the stores all close get it while you can
[Verse 3]
D
There's a rich man thinks I'm out to underhand
D A
Cause my car she don't shine when I drive
G D
I've never drawn a day of vacation time
D A D
I got a woman at home, she'll ease my troubled mind
[Verse 4]
D
My motorcycle runs like greased up lightning, son
D A
And I know where the fish are gonna bite all day
G D
My pistol barks like that old bulldog there
D A D
I pay my bills, sing my songs and then I draw my pay
[Chorus]
G
Better get it while you can
D
Brother, get it while you can
D A
When I'm home from working I'm a hungry man
G D
I like your biscuits in my gravy ma'am
D A D D A D
Before the stores all close get it while you can
