Button Your Collar

LyricS

All my days end this way
But when you work at all, you can’t complain
Now I think I see what this is about
So gather the troops ‘cause we’re heading out

This town’s too cold and much too proud
So take me south for cryin’ out loud

Get dressed, button your collar
And call everyone that you know
Round up every dollar ‘cause if
You stay, then nobody’s going to go, oh no

What do you say that we get wise
Take a bottle of bourbon to the fireflies
I’m keeping track of what my investment’s in
So I’ve got my money in a tobacco tin

Oh, this town’s too cold and much too proud
So take me south for cryin’ out loud

Get dressed, button your collar
And call everyone that you know
Round up every dollar ‘cause if
You stay, then nobody’s going to go, oh no

Get dressed, button your collar
And call everyone that you know
Round up every dollar ‘cause if
You stay, then nobody’s going to go, oh no
