Can You Hear That Knockin'
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.
Tell me where can a cowboy get a salad
I've had all the red meat I can hold
I don't ordinarily come in here
I don't ordinarily like blondes
I don't ordinarily flip the switch
That will turn any young girl on
I don't ordinarily drink liquor
I ordinarily drink beer
I never fall for the kind of girl
That would ordinarily hang out here
I noticed you were single
Like I noticed them other things
Like me noticing you
When you were noticing me
Checking out you for a wedding ring
It's funny how you hear things sometimes
But it's easy to see
But all these things I'm noticing
Sound just right to me
Can you hear that knocking
Can you hear that knocking
Can you hear that knocking
Can't you hear that knocking
Can you hear that knocking
Sounds like opportunity
Now this is a rare occasion
In fact it's never really happened before
Now I'm standing here hinged on the fact
That we could open up that door
Can you hear that knocking
Can you hear that knocking
Can you hear that knocking
Sounds like opportunity
