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
