Solving Problems - Brent Cobb

Sittin' on the front porch on a Sunday afternoon

Just me and a buddy who I’ve known for a few years

We figured since the weather’s nice

We might as well soak up the sights

Of Nashville with no suits and ties around

Conversation covers everything and in between

From grandpaw’s health to marrying good girls

Oh, we ain’t up to nothing

Just solving all the problems of the world

We joke and laugh at the present and past

How some things do and some don’t last

Like friends you make 'round here sometimes somehow just disappear

Oh, it’s funny to the two of us

The folks back home make such a fuss

About the way we’re livin' day to day

And guitars pickin'

The conversation covers everything and in between

From modern music to «Mama Tried» by Merle

Oh, we ain’t up to nothin'

Just solving all the problems of the world

As they come and go like us wanna-be's on music row

We’re made to just burn out the way a star is made to glow

We light us one last cigarette

Make plans to do what we ain’t done yet

He wants to buy a Jeep, I’d like to make it through next week

If I do and he does too I bet we’ll do it all again

Shoot the bull about what’s new on another Sunday afternoon

Where the conversation covers everything and in between

From life is good to giving it a whirl

Oh, we ain’t up to nothin'

Just solving all the problems of the world
