I have appointed me the captain of my destiny

And proclaimed myself the pilot of my soul

But my mind remains uneasy cause the rest of me

Depends on someone I don't even know

May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today

Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks him off or bums him out in any way

Lord help him keep his cool cause he could pull the final curtain on my play

May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely day today

[ dobro ]

I can recall when only God could start the world anew

He who left his babies wasted on the shore

But now that man could have the last word if he wanted to

God ain't such a bad dude anymore

May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely night tonight

Hope he's got himself a honey who knows what to do and I hope she does it right

And in my heart I know you won't go bananas and again he might

May the man who has his finger on the button have a lovely night tonight

May the man who has his finger...

Send him over anything he wants give him a sixpack of beer

Give him my old lady my girl friend
