Nelson - Like Father, Like Sons

Garden Party Lyrics

by Nelson
Album: Like Father, Like Sons (2000)



I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didnt look the same

Chorus
But its all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya cant please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
n over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. hughes hid in dylans shoes wearing his disguise

Chorus

Lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Played them all the old songs, thought thats why they came
No one heard the music, we didnt look the same
I said hello to mary lou, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

Chorus

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped johnny b. goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin a bell and lookin like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck

Chorus

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

n its all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya cant please everyone, so you got to please yourself
