Play That Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick Play
(Tommy Womack/ Rick Neilsen)
1
I’ve been to London, I’ve been to Rome
Played my shows and come back home
The golden goose ain’t landed yet
This is as good as it’s gonna get
IPod’s playing old Cheap Trick
My oh my, you’ve grown up quick
Trying to keep this kitchen clean
That’s all real life really means
CHORUS
Another dollar, another day
I shouldn’t look back but I do anyway
Dad’s in the ground, Mom’s on the way
Play that Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick play
2
Pull those records off the shelf
Sit up late and doubt myself
Ain’t no fuss and ain’t no sweat
This is as good as it’s gonna get
Love my son and love my wife
Try like hell to love my life
Jesus is my saving grace
But I don’t always know my place
CHORUS
3
I’ve played the game and sowed some oats
Rammed myself down peoples’ throats
Banged my head against the wall
All in all I’ve had a ball
A hundred bucks to play three sets
This is as good as it’s gonna get
The future’s shorter than the past
My oh my you’ve grown up fast
CHORUS
TAG
MOMMA’S ALRIGHT, DADDY’S ALRIGHT
The boy’s alright, WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT, WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT.

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off.
felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery.
thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness

As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
