It's a Beautiful Thing

It's a Beautiful Thing - The Bonedrivers

My friends keep gettin' on me

When I talk about settling down

Comes a time in a man's life

When he's over dogging around

She don't need be fancy

Her body tight and trim

Long as she got

That certain something

That's only her's to give

You might say

I'd be givin' up the good life

And there's still

Lots of gold in them hills

But I'm sure I'd be goin' the right way

Cause I know when it's good at home

It's a beautiful thing

It's a beautiful thing

Now here's the word from Johnnie

For all of you young men

It's fine to be a swinger

So you know you got your thang

But when you come across the right girl

Don't be playin' the clown

Cause she just might be off the board

When you get to the second round

You might say

I'd be givin' up the good life

And there's still lots of time

For I'm old

But I'm sure I'll be goin' the right way

Cause I know when I get home

It's a beautiful thing

It's a beautiful thing

Now here's the word from Johnnie

For all of you young men

It's fine to be a swinger

So you know you got your thang

But when you come across the right girl

Don't be playin' the clown

Cause she just might be off the board

When you get to the second round

You might say

I'd be givin' up the good life

And there's still lots of

Cooking I'm old

But I'm sure I'll be goin' the right way

Cause I know when I get home

It's a beautiful thing

It's a beautiful thing

It's a beautiful thing

Beautiful beautiful

It's a beautiful thing

Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Yeah yeah yeah
