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