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 Mama saw in her brand new man
I could never quite understand
So I stuck it out with Daddy for awhile
He never treated me like a kid
I did all the things he did
He'd always let me tag along
Down to Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from ten to close
My old man sitting right there next to me
They got the ball game on the big tv
A beer for him a Coke for me
He'd raise his bottle to the band and 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 hanging out with the older crowd
We used to stay up all night long
Singing all them outlaw songs
Sometimes I'd sit in with the band
Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from ten to close
My old man sitting right there next to me
They got the ball game on the big tv
A beer for him a Coke for me
He'd raise his bottle to the band and 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've got a cover band from ten to close
My old man sitting right there next to me
We've got the ball game on the big tv
A beer for him a beer for me
I raise my bottle to the sky and turn to say
I'm gonna see you up there someday
I'm gonna see you up there someday
