If It's OK
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Bryan Adams (Summer of '69)
I found my 80’s six-string
I found my 80’s six-string
Layin' on the attic floor
Layin' on the attic floor
Played it 'til my fingers hurt
Played it 'til my fingers hurt
Man, I need to do this more
Man, I need to do this more
Me and some guys from church
Me and some guys from church
Dreamed about the glory days
Dreamed about the glory days
Seems we never, quite out-grew that,
Seems we never, quite out-grew that,
"I wish I were a rock star" phase
"I wish I were a rock star" phase
So, every now and then
So, every now and then
The four of us will get together
The four of us will get together
And if I had my choice
And if I had my choice
I’d like to do it more, however
I’d like to do it more, however
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Ain't no use in complainin'
Ain't no use in complainin'
There’s always a job to do
There’s always a job to do
Spend my weekends doin’ the yard work
Spend my weekends doin’ the yard work
And writing lyrics too, yeah
And writing lyrics too, yeah
Strummin’ on that old guitar
Strummin’ on that old guitar
Sometimes I’d like to play forever
Sometimes I’d like to play forever
And then I’d like to pound the drums
And then I’d like to pound the drums
And crank up my amp, however
And crank up my amp, however
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
And it’s ok with her most the time, oh
And it’s ok with her most the time, oh
Speaking about my wife
Speaking about my wife
She looks young and pretty
She looks young and pretty
And she is plenty kind
And she is plenty kind
I hope brownie points last forever,
I hope brownie points last forever,
forever, yeah
forever, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Now that the song’s almost over
Now that the song’s almost over
Guess I’d better get to the point
Guess I’d better get to the point
I’m blessed with an incredible boss who
I’m blessed with an incredible boss who
Puts up with me when I rock the joint
Puts up with me when I rock the joint
Strummin’ on a new guitar
Strummin’ on a new guitar
She bought for me to have forever
She bought for me to have forever
Inspired me to write this song
Inspired me to write this song
That I can play for you, however
That I can play for you, however
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Just if it’s ok with my wife
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And it’s ok with her most the time
And it’s ok with her most the time
Uh huh
Uh huh
And it’s ok with her most the time
And it’s ok with her most the time
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Me and my baby are doing fine
Me and my baby are doing fine
Ooooh, hey!
Ooooh, hey!
