STAND THERE AND SING
I wonder do you wonder 'Bout all the friends and trends That you've seen come and go
Did you ever think you'd ever Be called the King of anything Or do you even know That's what we say You've never changed No you'll never change
Just stand there and sing That's all we need The way you tell a story Makes it easy to believe
Just carry on And we'll all sing along We'll laugh and cry Live our lives to a cowboy melody So just stand there and sing Stand there and sing
Did you always know that your way Was the best way Or were you just doing what you do Looking back now, Hope that somehow You've enjoyed yourself as much as we still do
Because that's what we say You've never changed, Oh you'll never change
So just stand there and sing That's all we need The way you tell a story Makes it easy to believe
Just carry on And we'll all sing along We'll laugh and cry Live our lives to a cowboy melody So just stand there and sing
Knowing the lights and smoke and mirrors Were just that, you smiled and tipped your hat
Stand there and sing That's all we need The way you tell a story Makes it easy to believe Just carry on And we'll all sing along We'll laugh and cry Live our lives to a cowboy melody So just stand there and sing Oh stand there and sing
