Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He works way too much for way too little
He drinks way too early till way too late
He hasn't had a raise since New Year's Day in '88
Gets trampled on by everyone
Except when he comes in here
[Verse 2]
Now, he's the product of the Haggard generation
He's got a redneck side when you get him agitated
He got the gold-tooth look for a stiff right hook he's proud he took
For his right-wing stand on Vietnam
Says he lost his brother there
[Verse 3]
He yells out, "Johnny Cash!"
And the band starts to play
A Ring of Fire as he walks up
And stands there by the stage
And he says
[Verse 4]
"Hell yeah, turn it up, right on
Hell yeah, sounds good, sing that song
Guitar man, playing all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
Life was good and love was easy"
[Verse 5]
She's got an MBA and a plush corner office
She's got a don't-mess-with-me attitude
She'll close a deal, she don't reveal that she can feel
The loneliness, the emptiness
Except when she comes in here
[Verse 6]
She's the product of the "Me generation"
She's got a rock 'n' roll side when you get her agitated
She got a tattoo there on her derrière from a spring break dare
In Panama where love was all
She thought she's ever need
[Verse 7]
She yells out to the band
"Know any Bruce Springsteen?"
Then she jumps up on the bar
And she, and she starts to scream
She says
[Verse 8]
"Hell yeah, turn it up, right on
Hell yeah, sounds good, sing that song
Guitar man, playing all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
Life was good and love was easy
Yeah, yeah
Anything to get my mind off thinking about
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Hey, hell yeah"
[Verse 9]
Hell yeah, turn it up, right on
Hell yeah, sounds good, sing that song
Guitar man, playing all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
Life was good
[Verse 10]
Hell yeah, turn it up, right on
Hell yeah, sounds good, sing that song
Guitar man, playing all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
Life was good and love was easy
