Well, I was counting my at the Playing Sixes In this When old beach bum yelled out "Come on, play, me three steps" I was but I played him one more Then I was out towards the door
And he handshake and handed me a dollar bills And said, "By the way, I own bar" Then he at me and said, "Kid, I got a few more tips But sure ain't the kind that would fit in that jar"
You treat people right on your ride up They'll your back on the way back down He said, "Take it from this old bum, son Keeping it real is it's really about"
You can count your blessings, count lucky But every day you get above Oh, that about keeping count of what you got making what you got count
He grabbed me by the arm and He said, "Real quick, boy, let me tell you story About this real rich dude I used to know well He owned all of stuff but when he added it all up He still like he was empty as hell"
He said, "Son, would you that That dude was me before I inventoried my life Ah, just to live down here, shots and some beer And, and dispensing some advice"
Now treat people right on your up They'll your back on the way back down He said, "Take it from this old bum, son it real, that's what it's really about"
Count your blessings, count yourself day you get above ground 'Cause it ain't about count of what you got It's making what you got
Oh, now I can't recollect how I collected in my jar And tonight I started to have a beer with my old friends And he saw those tour buses outside, he said
Now are your treating people right on ride up? have your back on the way back down He said, "Take it this old beach bum, son Yeah, it real, that's what it's really about"
