"IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING"
From the Bonedrivers CD "Mobile" BB4444


My friends keep gettin' on me,
when I talk about settling down.
Comes a time in a man's life
when he's over 'doggin 'round.

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.

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 'fore 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.
