00:00What's up, guys? It is Chris Bandy.
00:03We 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.
00:13And spent a lot of great summers down in Key West.
00:15But this is a song about a guy I met in Key West one time and some wise advice that he gave me.
00:20It's called If You Ain't Got a Girl.
00:30I was down in Key West, making my rounds at the Hogsbury.
00:38Sitting there watching the sunset sink in the road.
00:44When an island tamed me with a cut off teeth, he sat down and asked if I wanted a drink.
00:50He left and said, kid, come on me and me.
00:53When I was young, you 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 blood.
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.
01:26All that stuff don't mean to think of the world.
01:31And only if you ain't got a girl.
01:36And only if you ain't got a girl.
01:39Used to take it, leave it, but believe in me, I've been around the world, seen some things.
01:50Looking 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 blood.
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 don't mean to think of the world.
02:18And only if you ain't got a girl.
02:20He picked up his drink and he threw 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.
02:55I got a guitar, some good boots, a John Pryne record I could turn to.
03:01And all that stuff don't mean to think of the world.
03:05No, take it from me, kid.
03:09It 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.
03:21No, it don't mean a thing if you ain't got a girl, if you ain't got a girl
03:30It don't mean a thing if you ain't got a girl, if you ain't got a girl
