Tips - Rodney Atkins[00:00:00]
Well I was counting my tips at the Playing Sixes[00:00:01]
In this (Incomprehensible)[00:00:19]
When this old beach bum yelled out[00:00:22]
"Come on play give me three steps"[00:00:25]
I was beat but I played him one more[00:00:26]
Then I was headed out towards the door[00:00:29]
And he handshake and[00:00:33]
Handed me a hundred dollar bills[00:00:38]
And said "By the way I own this bar"[00:00:40]
Then he winked at me and said [00:00:42]
"Kid I got a few more tips[00:00:45]
But they sure ain't the kind[00:00:47]
That would fit in that jar"[00:00:49]
You gotta treat people right on your ride up[00:00:51]
They'll have your back on the way back down[00:00:54]
He said "Take it from this old beach bum son[00:00:57]
Keeping it real is what it's really about"[00:01:02]
You can count your blessings [00:01:06]
Count yourself lucky[00:01:08]
But every day you get above ground[00:01:10]
Oh that ain't about keeping[00:01:13]
Count of what you got[00:01:15]
It's making what you got count[00:01:16]
He grabbed me by the arm and said[00:01:20]
He said "Real quick boy [00:01:28]
Let me tell you this story[00:01:30]
About this real rich dude[00:01:32]
I used to know real well[00:01:33]
He owned all kinds of stuff[00:01:35]
But when he added it all up[00:01:38]
He still felt like he was empty as hell"[00:01:39]
He said "Son would you believe that[00:01:42]
That dude was me back[00:01:45]
Before I inventoried my life[00:01:47]
Ah just to live down here [00:01:50]
Selling shots and some beer[00:01:53]
And and dispensing some free advice"[00:01:54]
Now treat people right on your ride up[00:01:57]
They'll have your back[00:02:02]
On the way back down[00:02:03]
He said "Take it from[00:02:05]
This old beach bum son[00:02:07]
Keeping it real that's what it's really about"[00:02:10]
Count your blessings count yourself lucky[00:02:13]
Every day you get above ground[00:02:17]
'Cause it ain't about keeping[00:02:20]
Count of what you got[00:02:23]
It's making what you got count[00:02:25]
Oh now I can't recollect[00:02:27]
How much I collected in my jar[00:02:32]
(Incomprehensible)[00:02:34]
And tonight I started getting to[00:02:38]
Have a beer with my old friends[00:02:40]
And when he saw those[00:02:42]
Tour buses outside he said[00:02:43]
Now are your treating people[00:02:44]
Right on your ride up [00:02:47]
They'll have your back on the way back down[00:02:49]
He said "Take it from this old beach bum son[00:02:51]
Yeah keep it real [00:02:56]
That's what it's really about"[00:02:58]
And the best things in life [00:03:00]
You can't put a price on[00:03:02]
They don't come with no dollar or map no[00:03:04]
'Cause it ain't about keeping[00:03:09]
Count of what you got[00:03:11]
It's making what you got count[00:03:13]
No it ain't about keeping count of what you got[00:03:16]
No it all comes down to[00:03:21]
Making what you got count[00:03:24]
Make it count that's what[00:03:26]
It comes down to son[00:03:30]
Tell your friends and be a friend[00:03:31]
Count your blessings don't count your problems[00:03:34]
