00:00What's up guys, it is Chris Bandy. We used to do a residency every summer in Key West, Florida.
00:08And we'd go down there and play every night from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock.
00:13I spent a lot of great summers down in Key West, but this is a song about a guy I met in Key West one time
00:18and some wise advice that he gave me. It's called If You Ain't Got a Girl.
00:30I was down in Key West, making my rounds at the Hogsbury, sitting and watching the sunset sink in the road.
00:44When an island tamed man with a cuddle teeth, he sat down and asked if I wanted a drink.
00:50He laughed and said, kid, come on me and me when I was young.
00:56You said, boy, I've been around the block a time or two.
01:02There's no such thing as a time machine.
01:06So if I was you, I'd get you a good dog, a good truck, some dirt on your hands and a little luck.
01:14You'd get a couple commas in your bank account, a house on the hill with a wraparound.
01:20But you would get tired of me, some good boots, a record you could always turn to.
01:26Oh, that's stuck, you don't mean a thing in the world.
01:31And only if you ain't got a girl.
01:36And only if you ain't got a girl.
01:39I used to take it and leave it, but believe you me, I've been around the world.
01:48Seen some things, but look back now, wish I bought that ring and got down on one knee.
01:55Get you a good dog, a good truck, some dirt on your hands and a little luck.
02:02You'd get a couple commas in your bank account, a house on the hill with a wraparound.
02:07But you would get tired of me, some good boots, a record you could always turn to.
02:14And all that stuff, you don't mean a thing in the world.
02:18And only if you ain't got a girl.
02:20He picked up his drink and he throwed it back.
02:35He looked at me, and he paid for that.
02:41And he said, I had a good dog, a good truck, some dirt on my hands and a little luck.
02:49I got a couple commas in my bank account, a house on the hill with a wraparound.
02:55And I got a guitar, some good boots, a John Pryne record, I could turn to.
03:02And all that stuff, you don't mean a thing in the world.
03:07No taking from me, kid, you don't mean a thing in the world.
03:12No, if you ain't got a girl.
03:18No, if you ain't got a girl.
03:20No, it don't mean a thing if you ain't got a girl, if you ain't got a girl.
03:31It don't mean a thing if you ain't got a girl, if you ain't got a girl.
