Well, I was counting my tips at the Playing In this When this old bum yelled out "Come on, play, give me steps" I was but I played him one more Then I was headed out the door
And he handshake and me a hundred dollar bills And said, "By the way, I own bar" he winked at me and said, "Kid, I got a few more tips But sure ain't the kind that would fit in that jar"
You gotta treat right on your ride up They'll have your on the way back down He said, "Take it from old beach bum, son Keeping it is what it's really about"
You can your blessings, count yourself lucky But every day you get ground Oh, that ain't about count 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 this About this real rich dude I used to real well He owned all of stuff but when he added it all up He felt like he was empty as hell"
He said, "Son, would you that That dude was me back before I my life Ah, just to live here, selling shots and some beer And, and some free advice"
Now treat people right on your up They'll have your back on the way back He said, "Take it from this old bum, son Keeping it real, what it's really about"
your blessings, count yourself lucky Every day you get above 'Cause it ain't keeping count of what you got It's what you got count
Oh, now I can't how much I collected in my jar And tonight I started getting to a beer with my old friends And when he saw those buses outside, he said
Now are your treating right on your ride up? They'll have your on the way back down He said, "Take it from this old bum, son Yeah, keep it real, that's what really about"
And the things in life, you can't put a price on They don't come with no or map, no 'Cause it ain't about keeping of what you got It's making you got count No, it ain't keeping count of what you got No, it all down to making what you got count
