Country Party

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I went to a country party, reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share some memories and play my songs again
When I got to the country party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well
See, you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Conway brought Loretta Haggard brought Bobby Bare
Over in the corner, much to my surprise (ooh)
There's Waylon Willie and Mickey Gilley listenin' to Charley Pride

But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

I played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, it didn't sound the same
Said, "Hello" to Rambling Rose, she belonged to me
Sang a song about a honky-tonk, and it was time to leave

But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

Someone opened up the closet door and out stepped Johnny Cash
Playin' (Ring of Fire) his guitar like a Ring of Fire, June was singin' in the back (in the back) (Jackson)
If you gotta play a country party, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories of all I've sang, well, I'd rather drive a truck

But it's all right now, I've learned my lesson well
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself

La-da-da-da (ta-da-da-da)
La-da-da-da (ta-da-da-da)
See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
La-da-da-da
