SinceThe70s Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just as I'm thinkin' about repairin' it Some little friends come along with some Two-string, one-string, no-string guitars And they plug 'em all in to the back porch And they sit around, playin' all their favorite songs They kick it back, feelin' real good, real fine Real full of the wine And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, everything's great I just feel so good y'know, I'm 70 years old And I'm sippin' everything through a straw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van. A sparkle was in his eye But his life was in his hands. Well, late at night when the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long. Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
