Comments:
|
I was quite surprised when Bryan pulled "Fits Ya Good" out of
the vault for inclusion on his 1997 "MTV Unplugged" live recording.
I like the song's rhythm and feel, but I've always thought the lyrics were
somewhat
"undernourished". In addition to his Fender Stratocaster guitar, the Roland JC-120 "Jazz Chorus" amplifier was the main source of Bryan's guitar sound on the first two or three albums. That same guitar-amp combination figures prominently on the original "studio" recording of "Fits Ya Good". |

| Lyrics: | Waiting
here for the working day to end Five o'clock and those walls just move in closer You get home so down and worn out It's understood Ya, it fits ya good Oh fits ya good Ya, it fits ya good Was a time you were bringing me down But I know it's just the way you look at life You don't know like I know, baby I did all that I could Now it fits ya good Oh fits ya good Ya, it fits ya good |
