Beat Me to It - Brendan Maclean

Pass me a peg

I’ll still put out your laundry

Pass you a bandage

And tie up my old knee

It’s not that I’m alone

It’s you’re not here

You still come around the mountains when you come

With an ace up my sleeve

I am outplayed

I’m glad you met my friends

I just wish you and them had stayed

But you beat me to it

And you beat me to it

And where is the home that we’ll live in?

The baker we’ll buy from?

The home that we’ll live in

The baker…

Pass me a peg, I’ll still put out your laundry

See all the new shirts

And old shirts bought for me bought back

It’s not that I’m alone

Not just that I’m alone

‘Cause you beat me to it

It’s you beat me to it

And where is the home that we’ll live in

The baker we’ll buy from?

The baker we buy from

You bought his cake, you brought him home

And me to it

And you beat me to it

And you beat me to it

Whoa, yeah
