Album: Nothing Like This (2010)

  • You're a single mom with three kids and just as many jobs
    Your candle burns at both ends but you can't make it stop
    Your a farmer on a John Deer honest work for little pay
    Now throw that thing in park it's time to play

    [Chorus]
    Like it's midnight in Vegas
    Mardi Gras in New Orleans
    New Years Eve in New York City
    You know what I mean
    It's like lovers in Paris, Sunset Strip in L.A.
    Doesn't matter where you are
    Well it's alright it's alright to play

    Oh yes it is

    Where there ain't no drugs or doctors
    Who can get you what you need
    I've got the magic potion
    And it doesn't cost a thing
    Yeah you've seen some hard times
    Life just works out that way
    When your smack dab in the middle
    You gotta play

    [Chorus]

    Hey hey

    Like a kiss in the moonlight
    Barefoot walks on the beach
    Like sipping Champagne straight from a bottle
    You know what I mean

    [Chorus]

    (It's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play yeah it's alright)
    Come on come on come on
    It's alright to play (it's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play)
    It's alright to play yeah (it's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play)
    Yeah it's alright to play (it's alright to play yeah it's alright it's alright to play)
    Well it's alright it's alright well it's alright alright to play
    It's alright to play Writer/s: BONNIE J. BAKER, HUNTER EASTON HAYES, KATRINA ELAM
