Buck Owens - Roll Out the Red Carpet

Hangin' On to What I Got

Well, everybody got something on their mind
That they like to talk about
Well, I got something that I'm proud of
And it's a-worth shoutin' about

Oh well, I don't want a string of big fine cars
And I don't own a fancy yacht
Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin' on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes
And arms to hold me tight
And I don't care if the sun don't shine
And daylight turns to night

Well, if a dollar bill is not worth a dime
And if the whole world goes to pot
Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin' on to what I got

Well, I'll not worry about the world
And what it's a-comin' to
Or if old Lady Jones has got a new hat
Or if the browns had turned to blue

Well, if the London Bridge is a-fallin' down
Or if old Big Ben has stopped
Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin' on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes
And arms to hold me tight
And I don't care if the sun don't shine
Or daylight turns to night

Well, if a dollar bill is not worth a dime
And if the whole world goes to pot
Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin' on to what I got

Well, I'm a-tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a-hangin' on to what I got
