Gotta Get Out And Play

Well, I have a country doctor,
Graduated at the head of his class,
Got his Grandma's old book of remedies
I've got the best of both worlds at last

Well, I went one day to see him
Cause I've got this deep pain inside
I said, I need ya to cure my heartache Doc
It's gonna eat me up until I die!

    CHORUS:
    He said, "Well hon (or son), I just cain't help you
    and there's nothing much more I can say
    You've gotta get outta here girl(boy)... If I were you...
    You know, you've gotta get out and play

Well, I didn't know quite what I should do
Cause playing just ain't been my style,
But I worked real hard gettin used to it
And now I play like it's goin outta style.

Yeah, I got me my own little posse,
We hit the honkey tonks every night
Yeah, we play 'n' we dance and we mess around
'Til we know we're feeling more than alright.

    CHORUS:
    Well, I've gotta follow doctors orders...
    Yeah, there's nothing much more I can say.
    My doc told me, "Girl You've gotta get outta here.
    You know you've gotta get out and play!"

Well, I did what my doctor told me to do
Played 'til I cain't play no more
Played all day and again all night
Sang and danced 'til my feet were sore

And when I went back to see my doc
He said, Well honey, tell me, how is your heart?
I said, "You cured me doc, cause it don't hurt any more!"
....but my dancing shoes are falling all apart!

Yeah, I've followed my good doctors orders
and there's nothing much more I can say
He said, "To heal that heart you've gotta get outta here
You know you've gotta get out and play."

    so I play...
    BASS VOICE: Yeah girl(son), you've gotta get out and play...
    uh huh hon,
    BASS VOICE: You know, you've gotta get out and play...
    Look at me!
    BASS VOICE: You know, you've gotta get out and play...
    Mmmmm All night
    BASS VOICE: You know, you've gotta get out and play...
    Oh yeah
    BASS VOICE: You know, you've gotta get out and play...
