It's A Great Life (if You Don't Weaken)

Faron Young

Well it's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[ fiddle ]

Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million I just want enough to get by

Like a checking the town in two or three banks and a yellow Cadillac to drive

To go sportin' around with two or three red-heads or maybe take a blonde along

It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[ fiddle ]

Just give me my money and cold hard pension give my guitar in tune

And get me a date with a pretty little thing and I'll be markin' afternoon

No want more than anybody else just takes more for me to get along

It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[ steel - fiddle ]

It's a simple thing in life that really matter and I'm a pretty simple guy

Just give me a house a swimming pool and a little sport plane to fly

It don't take much to satisfy me I'm a country boy tryin' to get along

It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong
