Steak Night at the Prairie Rose

Barely out of seventh grade Mom and dad went their separate ways And me and my sister had to choose What momma saw in her brand new man I could never quite understand So I stuck it out with daddy for a while He never treated me like a kid I did all the things he did And he always let me tag along Down to Steak Night at the Prairie Rose A cover band from 10 to close And my old man sittin' right there next to me They got the ballgame on the big TV A beer for him, a coke for me He raised his bottle to the band, he'd turn to say: "I'm gonna see you up there someday" Maybe for better, maybe for worse Maybe a blessing, probably a curse In my mother's eyes, 'cause she saw him in me Soon I started skipping school Soon I started shooting pool And hangin' out with the older crowd We used to stay up all night long Singin' all them outlaw songs Some nights I'd sit in with the band Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose A cover band from 10 to close And my old man sittin' right there next to me They got the ballgame on the big TV A beer for him, a coke for me He raised his bottle to the band, He'd turn to say: "I'm gonna see you up there someday It ain't been the same since he's been gone But now I proudly sing his song Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose I got a cover band from 10 to close And my old man, he's sitting right here next to me We got the ballgame on the big TV A beer for him a beer for me I raise my bottle, and turn to say: "I'm gonna see you up there someday" "I'm gonna see you up there someday"
