greatest show on earth - radney foster lyrics

[here we go]

[verse 1]
pot luck supper and barbecue
a cooler full of beer one for sodas too
us kids chasing fireflies with no shoes
sat-rday sundown
momma hollerin’ y’all wash up
clean that plate with your cornbread crust
don’t drink from daddy’s dixie cup
oh the guitars are comin’ out

[chorus]
when those cedar planks rattled and moaned
rocked and rolled to a country song
on a couple of sunburst flattops
and a hand-me-down mandolin
sometimes they had the chords half wrong
we laughed and cried, sang along
family friends harmony
and gooseb-mps on my skin
you can’t put a price on what those nights were worth
it was the greatest, the greatest show on earth

[verse 2]
some sang low some high and lonesome
will that circle be unbroken
grab a part if you know one
or clap along instead
son if you want to touch a guitar, ask
sister sleepin’ and eight kids laughing
i’d shake it like elvis just to make ’em laugh
before i went to bed

[chorus]
when those cedar planks rattled and moaned
rocked and rolled to a country song
on a couple of sunburst flattops
and a hand-me-down mandolin
sometimes they had the chords half wrong
we laughed and cried and sang along
family friends harmony
and gooseb-mps on my skin
you can’t put a price on what those nights were worth
it was the greatest, the greatest show on earth

[bridge]
take a little break
talk a little fishin’
let the crickets sing the intermission
i’d drift off to dreamland
and they’d fire it up again

[chorus]
when those cedar planks rattled and moaned
rocked and rolled to a country song
on a couple of sunburst flattops
and a hand-me-down mandolin
sometimes they had the chords half wrong
we laughed and cried and sang along
family friends harmony
and gooseb-mps on my skin
you can’t put a price on what those nights were worth
it was the greatest, the greatest show on earth
