Better Than This

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.

That sleepy little campfire

Popped and kinda crackled

We were heating up

The pork and beans

And Bubba said

Man, it don't get any better than this

If you know what I mean

We sat there for a minute

Listening to the crickets

Thinking this was pretty hard to beat

'Til Junior stood up

Spit in the fire and said

Boys, I hate to disagree

But if a busload of women

Really good-looking women

Just suddenly pulled in here

And ol' Joe T. Garcia

Showed up with fajitas

And a hundred gallon keg of beer

And Haggard dropped by

And brought Willie with him

And they started taking requests

Now don't get me wrong boys

This is pretty good

But it could get better than this

If Bill Dance and Hank Parker

Floated by in a boat

And volunteered to be our fishing guides

And Richard Petty

Pulled up in the old 43 car

And asked us if we wanted a ride

We'd all sit around

Singing "Poncho And Lefty"

Playing poker, smoking big cigars

Now don't take offense y'all

I'm perfectly content

Just sitting here under the stars

But if a busload of women

Really good-looking women

Just suddenly pulled in here

And ol' Emeril Lagasse

Showed up with kielbasa

And a hundred gallon keg of beer

And then Haggard dropped by

And brought Willie with him

And they started taking requests

Now don't get me wrong boys

This is pretty good

But it could get better than this

But if a busload of women

Really good-looking women

Just suddenly pulled in here

And Little Jimmy Dickens

Showed up with fried chicken

And a hundred gallon keg of beer

Merle Haggard dropped by

And brought Willie with him

And they started taking requests

Now don't get me wrong boys

This is pretty good

But it could get better than this

Yeah, don't get me wrong boys

This is pretty good

But it could

get better than this
