It's a Great Life (If You Don't Weaken)

(Joe Allison - Audrey Allison - Faron Young)



Well, it's a great life if you don't weaken

But who wants to be strong?



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I don't guess I'll ever make a million

I just want enough to get by

Like a checking the town in two or three banks

And a yellow Cadillac to drive.



To go sportin' around with two or three red-heads

Or maybe take a blonde along

It's a great life if you don't weaken

But who wants to be strong?



--- Instrumental ---



Just give me my money and cold hard pension

Give my guitar in tune

And get me a date with a pretty little thing

And I'll be markin' afternoon.



No want more than anybody else

Just takes more for me to get along

It's a great life if you don't weaken

But who wants to be strong?



--- Instrumental ---



It's a simple thing in life that really matter

And I'm a pretty simple guy

Just give me a house, a swimming pool

And a little sport plane to fly.



It don't take much to satisfy me

I'm a country boy tryin' to get along

It's a great life if you don't weaken

But who wants to be strong?...
