Вступление
Intro:
(Verse I)
The old man ran the bait shop in Eudora Mississippi
He had his whole life story mounted right there on the wall
There were ducks and bucks and smallmouths
And a few old faded pictures
With the same three cocky rednecks
Grinnin' in 'em all
(Verse II)
One day I said "Hey mister, looks like you got some keepers"
He said "That's right I've known them boys since we were only kids
I know what you're thinkin' son, but the keepers in those pictures
Ain't the ones I'm holdin' they're the ones I'm standin' with
(Chorus)
They're the kind you give your life for, cuz you know they'd die for you
The kind that you can count on when you're short a buck or two
You don't find 'em on the surface no son you've gotta go a little deeper
And that's where you find the keepers
(Verse III)
This one here is Charlie before he joined the army
He came home with one leg and still he swears we slow him down
And Ralph there lost his Martha one July to cancer
We raise a glass together when her birthday rolls around
(Chorus)
They're the kind you give your life for, cuz you know they'd die for you
The kind that you can count on when you're short a buck or two
You don't find 'em on the surface no son you gotta go a little deeper
And that's where you find the keepers
(Piano Break)
x2
(Outro)
No you don't find 'em on the surface no son you gotta dig a little deeper
A little deeper
n.c.
Cuz that's where you find the keepers
