lyrics

PICK UP THE PIECES
(Dana Countryman)

When you’re driving through a mountain pass,
And your car conks out, ’cause you’re out of gas
Better stick out your thumb, until you’re home at last
Pick up the pieces and dust yourself off

When the hour is getting very late,
and your best girl never shows for up your date
Better go to Plan B and find another mate
Pick up the pieces and dust yourself off

When life is getting you down and out,
you’ve got no reason to sing
But what’s the use when you sit and pout?
It never solves a thing

When your boss tells you he wants to meet
When he shuts the door, and says “Have a seat”
When you suddenly find yourself out on the street
Pick up the pieces, and dust yourself off

Hang onto a happy thought,
whenever you’re feelin’ blue
A frown never did you a lot
A smile looks better on you

When the horse you’ve picked is sure to win,
and you place your bet with a dopey grin
But he comes in last place,
and you’re in hock again
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Dust yourself off
and start all over again

Dana Countryman Seattle, Washington

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
