[Verse 1]
Barely out of seventh grade
Mom and dad went their separate ways
And me and my sister had to choose

What momma saw in her brand new man
I could never quite understand
So I stuck it out with daddy for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
He never treated me like a kid
I did all the things he did
And he always let me tag along

[Chorus]
Down to Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from 10 to close
And my old man sittin' right there next to me
They got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him, a coke for me
He raised his bottle to the band, he'd turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"

[Verse 2]
Maybe for better, maybe for worse
Maybe a blessing, probably a curse
In my mother's eyes, 'cause she saw him in me
Soon I started skipping school
Soon I started shooting pool
And hangin' out with the older crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
We used to stay up all night long
Singin' all them outlaw songs
Some nights I'd sit in with the band

[Chorus]
Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
A cover band from 10 to close
And my old man sittin' right there next to me
They got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him, a coke for me
He raised his bottle to the band, He’d turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday

[Bridge]
It ain't been the same since he's been gone
But now I proudly sing his song

[Chorus]
Down at Steak Night at the Prairie Rose
I got a cover band from 10 to close
And my old man, he's sitting right here next to me
We got the ballgame on the big TV
A beer for him a beer for me
I raise my bottle, and turn to say:
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"
"I'm gonna see you up there someday"
