If It's OK

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Bryan Adams (Summer of '69)

I found my 80’s six-string

Layin' on the attic floor

Played it 'til my fingers hurt

Man, I need to do this more

 

Me and some guys from church

Dreamed about the glory days

Seems we never, quite out-grew that,

"I wish I were a rock star" phase


So, every now and then

The four of us will get together

And if I had my choice

I’d like to do it more, however

Just if it’s ok with my wife


Ain't no use in complainin'

There’s always a job to do

Spend my weekends doin’ the yard work

And writing lyrics too, yeah


Strummin’ on that old guitar

Sometimes I’d like to play forever

And then I’d like to pound the drums

And crank up my amp, however

Just if it’s ok with my wife

Oh, yeah


And it’s ok with her most the time, oh


Speaking about my wife

She looks young and pretty

And she is plenty kind 

I hope brownie points last forever, 

forever, yeah

Yeah


Now that the song’s almost over

Guess I’d better get to the point

I’m blessed with an incredible boss who

Puts up with me when I rock the joint


Strummin’ on a new guitar

She bought for me to have forever

Inspired me to write this song

That I can play for you, however

Just if it’s ok with my wife


Oh yeah

And it’s ok with her most the time

Uh huh


And it’s ok with her most the time

Oh yeah


Me and my baby are doing fine

Ooooh, hey!
