Lyrics
You Be Don And I’ll Be Phil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say the times are tough and the road ahead looks rough
And tonight I can’t see how I’ll face tomorrow
I’ve had all that I can stand
So I think I’ll just take things in my own hands
And when I’m getting to that point
I ask myself how long can I survive
I just say come on over, Joey
Help me break out my 45s
And you be Don and I’ll be Phil
And we’ll sing the old songs all night long
You take the lead and I’ll sing harmony
And for a little while nothing will go wrong
God knows I love this farm and the valley when it’s warm
And the kids won’t say it but I know they love me
And I have myself a woman
Who always understands
And that’s really all that matters
It just feels good to be alive
So let’s make some memories, Joey
Help me break out the 45s
And you be Don and I’ll be Phil
And we’ll sing the old songs all night long
You take the lead and I’ll sing harmony
And for a little while nothing will go wrong
Oh you be Don and I’ll be Phil
And we’ll sing the old songs all night long
You take the lead and I’ll sing harmony
And for a little while nothing will go wrong
