How It Oughta Be (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
A backyard oughta be a safe place for kids to play
Teachers oughta get doctor's and lawyer's pay
I don't know about you, but if you ask me
That's how it oughta be

[Chorus]
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Mama's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be

[Verse 2]
I think 87 octane oughta be ninety-nine cents
A buggy full of groceries oughta bе cheaper than rent
Don't know why it ain't, but if you ask mе
That's how it oughta be

[Chorus]
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Mama's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be

[Post-Chorus]
That's how it oughta be

[Chorus]
Cold beer oughta be too cold to hold
Somethin' good about somebody's all that oughta be told
The world oughta try a piece of Mama's chicken
Feel the love around her tabletop in the kitchen and
Oughta be off your ass when that anthem gets sung
All our friends oughta live to be too old to die young
Ain't how it is, but I believe
That's how it oughta be, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, that's how it oughta be
Yeah, that's how it oughta be
