Song: "Best You Can Get"

Song: "Best You Can Get"
(music and lyrics by Joseph Bishara)
------------------------------------

Let me tell you about my wife
She’s given her life
Gave me home and family
And as hard as I try
We just barely scrape by
So I can't give her luxury.

Well the car that she drives
It smokes and it grinds
Barely gets her from A to B.
So I quit eating lunch
And I saved up a bunch
Figured I’d get her a red SUV.

I’m gonna give you the best I can get
Cause you’ve given me you and you’re not finished yet
Wait 'til you see
Your red SUV.
I'm gonna give you the best I can get.
I'm gonna give you the best I can get.

So I took what I’d saved and I went into town,
And I went to the car lot, and I laid it all down.
The man looked at me and asked what I’d need.
I told him she needed a red SUV.

Mister please give me the best I can get.
Something shiny and pretty, maybe something in red.
Gotta make her life happy with the time we have left
So I need to get her the best I can get
I need to get her the best I can get

So he gave me the keys
to a red SUV
I could get 'cause of rolled-over miles
So I drove it back in
and it rode kind of mean
But when she saw it she gave me a smile

She didn’t look at the paint
Or the scratch on the door
Or the dent in the bumper
Or the hole in the floor.

She said thank you for giving the best you could get
I feel like I've gotten my own private jet
I love the color and it’s the best we’ve had yet
Thank you for giving the best you could get.
Thank you for giving the best you could get.

My boys came outside
and said wow what a ride
So I threw my wife the keys
And we all piled in
and drove to the drive-in.
All I could look at was my family.

‘Bout the time I got up to get us some snacks
A guy stepped out of his Mercedes Benz.
He'd just lost his wife
and felt lost in his life
but he smiled when he looked back at our red SUV.

Mister you’ve got the best you can get
With your boys and your wife well there’s not that much left
Love what you’ve got or live with regret.
Cause mister you’ve got the best you can get.
Looks like I got the best you can get.

Mister you've got the best you can get.
The family you've got and the time you have left.
Love what you've got and don't you forget.
Mister you've got the best you can get.
Mister you've got the best you can get.
