Please Let Me Stay a Little Longer - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

Till I got, got a lot more to give

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

Lord knows I love the life I live

This old road’s been so good to me

I’ve been given much more than I ever dreamed

I won’t ever stop playing these blues

That’s what I think He put me here to do

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

Feel like I’ve got a lot more to give

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

Lord knows I love the life I live

So many good friends I’ve lost along the way

I know I’ll meet 'em again on some uncloudy day

Until then there’s more songs to be sung

We’ve come a long way but we’re a long way from being done

I thank the Lord

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

But I feel like I got a lot more to give

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer

Lord knows I love the life I live

Thank You, Lord, I love the life I live

You got that right, B, I love the life we live, Buddy

I spend a many nights listening to you play

You still sound good, oh, you too sound good, Buddy

Keep on doing it B Your nickname is a good name for me Because I believe you are my buddy

I love the life I live

You’re the best that ever did it and got away with it Well, thanks a lot

You ain’t done it so bad yourself, old boy

When I’m pushing up daisies, don’t forget

You’re still my buddy
