Good Evening Songtext
von John Reuben

Okay, hold up

I′ll make the music if you make it look good
I don't dance, but I think that you should
Good evening′s a greeting, good night is farewell
Before you go, introduce yourself

There's a story to tell, wait to be seen
Staring at the big screen
One day, folks is gonna know me
Hopefully, sing my songs at karaoke
I'm thinking positive, even if it′s
Fashionable to be the pessimist
Skipped out of style, went straight for vintage


Can I get a "Yes, y′all" from all the naysayers?
Listen to me now, but catch up to me later
Do the kids still say "player haters"?
I'm sorry, I forgot the disclaimers
I was told not to be so defensive
Man, was I offended
Put a mic into the crowd, help me out now
Finish this sentence

I′ll make the music if you make it look good
I don't dance, but I think that you should
Good evening′s a greeting, good night is farewell
Before you go, introduce yourself
Good evening's a greeting, good night is farewell
Nobody′s leaving until

There's a story to tell
I'm at a loss for words, can I borrow yours?
You can speak for yourself
Or ask your ghostwriter for help

I need a story to tell
To be a has-been, you have to have been
On a porch swing, reminiscing


Poor decisions, should′ve done it different
Fistful of accomplishments
Slipping through your fingertips
Opportunities missed
Fifteen minutes goes quick
Off your seat and on your feet
Half full of a half-empty drink
Work the room, gunshot week
Party people in the place to be

I′ll make the music if you make it look good
I don't dance, but I think that you should
Good evening′s a greeting, good night is farewell
Before you go, introduce yourself
Good evening's a greeting, good night is farewell
(I′ll make the music if you make it look good)
Nobody's leaving until

There′s a story to tell
I need a story to tell
We'll take a happy ending
Even if we're pretending
We′ll take a happy ending
Even if we′re pretending
We'll take a happy ending
This time, I′m not pretending

Good evening's a greeting, good night is farewell
Before you go, introduce yourself
Good evening′s a greeting, good night is farewell
Nobody's leaving until
Good evening′s a greeting, good night is farewell
(I'll make the music if you make it look good)
Before you go, introduce yourself
Good evening's a greeting, good night is farewell
(I′ll make the music if you make it look good)
Nobody′s leaving until

Bob Dylan's microphone
Bob Dylan′s microphone
Bob Dylan's microphone
Bob Dylan′s microphone
I take it, I take it, pa-pow
I take it, I take it, I take it, pa-pow
I take it, pa-pow
I take it, prrra-ca, tip-a, tip-a, top-pop, tip-a, tip-a, top-pop
Pow

That was sick

That was good, some of that was good
There was some good
