Keep the Sad People Happy Lyrics by Spencer Hatcher
We don’t lay the pipe
We don’t drive the nails
We don’t plow the field
We don’t close the sale
We don’t solve world peace or split the atom in two
We are a dance hall band and here’s what we do
We get the hot girls in the door, we get the cowboys on the floor
Buyin’ one more round, all around, gettin’ loud and crazy
We’re playin’ backwoods, party songs, a little heavy metal honky-tonk
Til the whole crowd’s singin’ and rockin’ out with their baby
But every now and then we slow it down and then
Play an old heartache song to keep the sad people happy
In this big old world, there ain’t no small parts
You just be the best of whatever you are
And you put in your 40 hours
Yeah, you’ve done your job
Now we’ll do ours
We get the hot girls in the door, we get the cowboys on the floor
Buyin’ one more round, all around, gettin’ loud and crazy
We’re playin’ backwoods, party songs, a little heavy metal honkytonk
Got the backseat Romeo’s hopin’ for more than a maybe
Not yet, heartbroke…
We get the wild chicks on the bar, we get the wannabes playin’ air guitar
Til the whole crowd’s singin’ and rockin’ out with their baby
But every now and then we slow it down again
And play an old heartache song to keep the sad people happy
