Marc-Alan Barnette songs
MAKE MEMORIES, NOT EXCUSES
I was sitting there, Unhappy hour, at Busters Bar and Shells
Dozen oysters, Miller Lights, and feeling sorry for myself
Guess I was speaking out, a little loud, bout’ how rough my life was
Cause they gave that new promotion to that a-hole Jimmy Buck
Just when I got to the part, where my Nissan threw a rod
This old guy sitting next to me said, “Son let me tell ya’ what”
(Chorus)
[You] MAKE MEMORIES
NOT EXCUSES
CAUSE IT WON’T MAKE ONE LIFE BETTER
DOING LIKE YOU’RE DOING
HALF THE WORLD DON’T CARE ‘BOUT YOUR PROBLEMS
OTHER HALF’S GLAD YOU GOT EM’
SO SWIM OUT OF THAT PITY RIVER,
GET OFF OF THE BOTTOM
TRY TO ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE
MAKE MEMORIES, NOT EXCUSES
Wondered who might, ve’ gone and Died, made this codger God
Guy I don’t know, saying that, guess I was kind of shocked
Then I saw, that tattoo, on his right forearm
USS Arizona, and he’d kept us all from harm
When he started talking, next three hours, just flew by,
Said when “you see your buddies blown away”, you look differently at life
(Chorus)
Well I walked away, from that day, a little better man
And I always tell that story, when I hear somebody whinin’.
Dozen oysters, Miller Lights, and feeling sorry for myself
Guess I was speaking out, a little loud, bout’ how rough my life was
Cause they gave that new promotion to that a-hole Jimmy Buck
Just when I got to the part, where my Nissan threw a rod
This old guy sitting next to me said, “Son let me tell ya’ what”
(Chorus)
[You] MAKE MEMORIES
NOT EXCUSES
CAUSE IT WON’T MAKE ONE LIFE BETTER
DOING LIKE YOU’RE DOING
HALF THE WORLD DON’T CARE ‘BOUT YOUR PROBLEMS
OTHER HALF’S GLAD YOU GOT EM’
SO SWIM OUT OF THAT PITY RIVER,
GET OFF OF THE BOTTOM
TRY TO ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE
MAKE MEMORIES, NOT EXCUSES
Wondered who might, ve’ gone and Died, made this codger God
Guy I don’t know, saying that, guess I was kind of shocked
Then I saw, that tattoo, on his right forearm
USS Arizona, and he’d kept us all from harm
When he started talking, next three hours, just flew by,
Said when “you see your buddies blown away”, you look differently at life
(Chorus)
Well I walked away, from that day, a little better man
And I always tell that story, when I hear somebody whinin’.
