You Can’t Please Everyone
© 2008 Roy Harris / Mike Frisbey

It was quitting time on Friday
thought I’d head out with the boys
goin’ to down us a few cold beers
shoot pool and make some noise
I had a cute designated driver
she made sure I got home by ten
but the wife had locked the door
and I can’t repeat what it is she said

Chorus:
Seems you can’t please everyone
no matter how hard you try
I just agree to disagree
on seeing eye to eye
A country boy’s gotta learn to slide
if he aims to have any fun
with all the can’t do this and the can’t do that
well I can’t please everyone

The boss came by on Monday
with my time card in his hand
looked me in the eyes and said
Son I don’t understand
Last week you worked just four days
can you explain it all to me
I said, Hell boss I had to work four days
man, I couldn’t make it by on three

Chorus:
Seems you can’t please everyone
no matter how hard you try
I just agree to disagree
on seeing eye to eye
A country boy’s gotta learn to slide
if he aims to have any fun
with all the can’t do this and the can’t do that
well I can’t please everyone

Bridge
Now I’m out of work and single again
and happy as can be
‘cause good enough, weren’t good for some
and that’s just alright with me

Repeat Chorus

Tag
with all the can’t do this and the can’t do that
well I can’t please…no I can’t please…everyone
