Steak Night at the Prairie Rose

Barely out of seventh grade
Mom and dad went their separate ways
And me and my sister had to choose

What momma saw in her brand new man
I could never quite understand
So I stuck it out with daddy for a while

He never treated me like a kid
I did all the things he did
And he always let me tag along

Down to Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from 10 to close
And my old man sittin' right there next to me
They got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him, a coke for me
He raised his bottle to the band, he'd turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"

Maybe for better, maybe for worse
Maybe a blessing, probably a curse
In my mother's eyes, 'cause she saw him in me

Soon I started skipping school
Soon I started shooting pool
And hangin' out with the older crowd

We used to stay up all night long
Singin' all them outlaw songs
Some nights I'd sit in with the band

Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from 10 to close
And my old man sittin' right there next to me
They got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him, a coke for me
He raised his bottle to the band, He'd turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday

It ain't been the same since he's been gone
But now I proudly sing his song

Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
I got a cover band from 10 to close
And my old man, he's sitting right here next to me
We got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him a beer for me
I raise my bottle, and turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"
