| "Give Me
One Good Reason" is
pretty simple and straightforward; it's about having a good
time. I like having a good time. Wine, women and song... you could do worse. -Steve H. |
1. Well, the clock on the wall / says
it's Friday night
I ain't slept since Wednesday / but
I'm feelin' all right
Got a good-lookin' redhead / and
some good red wine
And if you think I'm leavin' now
/ you must be out of your mind
chorus: Give me one good reason
/ I ought to settle on down
Quit all my wild ways / and stop
runnin' around
Give me one good reason / but if
you don't mind
While you're thinkin' / I'll keep
havin' / a good old time
2. Well, I don't know much / but I
know how to dance
And I know about paintin' the town
/ and about romance
Yeah, I'm a believer / in wine, women
and song
And I'm gonna keep on / laughin'
and lovin' / the whole night long
chorus: Give me one good reason
/ I ought to settle on down
Quit all my wild ways / and stop
runnin' around
Give me one good reason / but if
you don't mind
While you're thinkin' / I'll keep
havin' / a good old time
3. So let me hear that fiddle / and
some steel guitar
And sing me a honky-tonk song / straight
from the heart
And I'll dance with my baby / and
I'll hold her tight
And we're gonna keep / those good
times / rollin' all night
chorus: Give me one good reason
/ I ought to settle on down
Quit all my wild ways / and stop
runnin' around
Give me one good reason / but if
you don't mind
While you're thinkin' / I'll keep
havin' / a good old time.
