Lyrics
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
Mark Patterson
Copyright 2023
You've been holdin' back long enough
I know work sucks and the year's been rough
No point frettin' about that tonight
I've got a plan to make you feel alright
Hold on tight we're gonna run all night
So let's get this show on the road
You've got a front row seat awaiting
To watch this town in the mirror fading
Forget the fantasy you've been sold
Put all that other BS on hold
Let the ride of your life unfold
And let's get this show on the road
Aw it's a bitch but you gotta move forward
And I've got just what the doctor ordered
I've got this Ford and my old Telecaster
And we're headed towards some of that greener pasture
Oh Lord we're flirtin' with disaster
Let's get this show on the road
Aw let's go
Yeah it's a bitch but you gotta move forward
And I've got just what the doctor ordered
I've got this Ford and my old Telecaster
And we're headed towards some of that greener pasture
Oh Lord we're flirtin' with disaster
Let's get this show on the road
Aw let's get this show on the road
Yeah let's get this show on the road
