"Might As Well Be Me" lyrics - BROTHERS OSBORNE
The jukebox won't rock if there's not a quarter down in it
Preacher man can't preach if there ain't anyone who's sinnin'
That dusty bottle up on the shelf
Far as I know won't drink itself
GT won't leave with no key in the ignition
[Chorus:]
Somebody gotta shake things up
Somebody gotta shut things down
Somebody gotta strike a match, break the ice
And buy the first round
Somebody gotta go all night
Somebody gotta dig down deep
Mean what they say, say what they mean
Yeah, the way I see, might as well be me
[Post-Chorus:]
Might as well be me
Kick drum won't thump if you don't put your lead foot down
There ain't no one more encore if there ain't no crowd
It ain't a rule without breakin' it
No, it ain't love without makin' it
Gets better with time and there's no time better than now, so look out
[Chorus:]
Somebody gotta shake things up
Somebody gotta shut things down
Somebody gotta strike a match, break the ice
And buy the first round
Somebody gotta go all night
Somebody gotta dig down deep
Mean what they say, say what they mean
Yeah, the way I see, might as well be me
[Post-Chorus:]
Might as well be me
Might as well be me
[Bridge:]
Who's gonna ask your name?
Who's gonna buy your drink
And do what they gotta do to spend a night with you?
Might as well be me (Might as well be me)
[Chorus:]
Somebody gotta shake things up
Somebody gotta shut things down
Somebody gotta strike a match, break the ice
And buy the first round
Somebody gotta go all night
Somebody gotta dig down deep
Mean what they say, say what they mean
Yeah, the way I see, might as well be me
[Post-Chorus:]
Might as well be me
Mm, yeah, might as well be me (Might as well be me)
(Might as well be me)
