Priceless by Joe Zelek
Priceless lyrics
I stopped in to share some misery with my good ol� friend Jim Bean
Saw a man in a tattered jacket, faded straps still on his sleeves
So I ordered us a round, and I pulled up a chair
That�s when I saw his wheels I was careful not to stare
They say that he risked life or limb �cause he wouldn�t leave a friend
He�ll tell you, �Some things are worth dying for, and I would do it all again.�
[Chorus]
A shot of whiskey and a cold beer six dollars
High score on the dartboard fifty cents
A buck for �Country Roads� on that old jukebox
At seven fifty plus the time well spent
But sittin� there with a real-life hero,
Well that�s just priceless, that�s just priceless
He said, �A lot of folks don�t understand why I volunteered to go,
I tell �em, just take a look around you at this life you�ve come to know
We did for young lovers and Independence Day parades
For smiles on kids� Christmas and first pitch on opening day
We fight for everyone�s right to chase their wildest dream
�Cause someone has to stand behind what Ol� Glory guarantees�
[Chorus]
I thanked him for his service, and bought us one more for the road
Here�s to all we take for granted, and those who never made it home
To those who never made it home
A shot of whiskey and a cold beer six dollars
High score on the dartboard fifty cents
A buck for �Country Roads� on that old jukebox
At seven fifty plus the time well spent
But livin� in the Land of the Free,
Well that�s just priceless, that�s just priceless
Well that�s just priceless, well that�s just priceless
