Everybody oughta
[Chorus]
C G
..Work a summer job, pour some whiskey in a glass
Am
Keep a well-hid coffee can full of cash
F
Steal a long kiss in a downpour rain
Call an old friend, catch up on the old days
C G
..And make a little noise, smoke ’em if you got ’em

Laugh till it hurts, tell som?body that you love ’em

I ain’t sayin’ that ev?rybody’s gotta
But man, everybody oughta
