Jim Morris Music On the River lyrics

They head out to the country on a beat up two lane road
Where the sign says LIVE music today
You really ought to get there
Early as you can with your lawn chair in your hand
Find a good spot and listen away

Now everybody's welcome to get up and sing a song
Somebody always has a new song to share
You really ought to try it
Some folks sound so sweet and some sound like Coconut Pete
But nobody cares cause nobody cares

The young folks in the sunshine
And the old folks in the shade
While the beautiful Kerry Oakley
Sings every song that's ever been made
You've got gators and mosquitoes
And tasty margaritas
Music on the river on a Sunday afternoon
The ladies look so lovely as they dance to all the songs
The boys out back try to sneak in some beer
They really shouldn't do it
Everybody's happy and I've never seen a fight
Yeah, we all get along pretty good round here

The young folks in the sunshine

And the old folks in the shade
While the beautiful Kerry Oakley
Sings every song that's ever been made
You've got gators and mosquitoes
And tasty margaritas
Music on the river on a Sunday afternoon

When the show is finally over and the final note is played
They all file out and head up the road
Been really good to see you
Please come back again, please tell all your friends
That the music rocked and the liquor flowed

The young folks in the sunshine
And the old folks in the shade
While the beautiful Kerry Oakley
Sings every song that's ever been made

You've got gators and mosquitoes
And tasty margaritas
Music on the river on a Sunday afternoon
Music on the river on a Sunday afternoon
