Better Than This

That sleepy little campfire poppin', kinda cracklin'

We were heatin' 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, listenin' to the crickets

Thinkin' this was pretty hard to beat

'Til Junior stood up, spit in the fire

And said, "Boys, I hate to disagree"

But if a bus load of women, really good lookin' women

Just suddenly pulled in here

Old 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 takin' requests

Well, 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 fishin' guides

And Richard petty pulled up in the old '43 car

And asked us if we wanted a ride

We'd all sit around, singin' "Pancho & Lefty"

Playin' poker, smokin' big cigars

Now, don't take offense, y'all, I'm perfectly content

Just sittin' here under the stars

But if a bus load of women, really good lookin' women

Just suddenly pulled in here

And old Emeril Lagasse showed up with kielbasa

And a hundred-gallon keg of beer

If Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him

And they started takin' requests

Now, don't get me wrong, boys, this is pretty good

But it could get better than this

But if a bus load of women, really good lookin' 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 takin' 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
