Get Along 02:48
I like whiskey and you like wine When we're drinking get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line You're always late and I’m right on time When we dine we get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line We go to work it’s the daily grind Come home to you we get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line All your lovin' and all of mine When you're in my arms we get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line Couple 'o' pearls before some swine You’re cute as a button we get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line You're the moon, and the stars that shine Every night we get along just fine Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line Get along just fine, goin' together to the end of the line

spider legs and waffle feet a pretty gal I’d like to meet guess I’m just a little bit too shy a great big bear made of tin cans never really learned to dance ‘spose I’ll never kiss a girl again and yesterday, was made of stones and clay and yesterday, seems so far away kicking leaves and skipping rocks scaring swans down by the docks ice cream fingers on a summer’s day high park hills and climbing trees everything comes down in threes an angry bee just stung me in the eye and yesterday, was made of stones and clay and yesterday, seems so far away hey hey try so hard can’t get no sleep 2000 miles in this jeep leaving that fuckin’ town so far behind ain’t never coming back again rest in peace goodbye amen gonna find a place I know where I belong and yesterday, was made of stones and clay and yesterday, seems so far away

As the drunk crow flies, beneath clouded skies On this lost highway, I’m trying to find my way Far away from home, where my name is known Prayin’ I’ll be found, in this City Of Sound Playing Broadway Street, Honky Tonk‘s so sweet Spiffy boots on my feet, sweatin’ in this heat We’re always taking requests, The Man In Black is the best This ‘ol bands for hire, dollars, Ring Of Fire As the drunk crow flies, beneath clear blue skies Off the lost highway, well on my way Lord now I’m found, blessed glory bound By God’s good grace, finally found my place Playing Broadway Street, Honky Tonk‘s so sweet Spiffy boots on my feet, sweatin’ in this heat We’re always taking requests, The Man In Black is the best This ‘ol bands for hire, dollars, Ring Of Fire

head hangs low for doing what ya done beaten down curled up in the corner but don’t ya know, ya can’t keep a good dog down under cricket stars (nobody holds ya tight) under cricket stars (all alone tonight) under cricket stars (nobody loves ya right) out on the plains sleepin’ with the night leave them bones buried in the yard wander astray, no place to call your home but don’t ya know, ya can’t keep a good dog down under cricket stars (nobody holds ya tight) under cricket stars (all alone tonight) under cricket stars (nobody loves ya right) out on the plains sleepin’ with the night

in this world we’re gently walkin’ a dying breed, out in the pines my sweet angel, I hear ya callin’ through the dark, your love it shines in this country that we are livin’ days are hard out on the farm puttin’ bread on the dinner table holdin’ you in my lovin’ arms roots run deep, like a redwood tree the sun it smiles on you and me wild butterflies flutterin’ away a nice warm breeze, on a summer’s day the clouds roll by, and the clouds roll by I’ll say goodbye say goodbye in this town where we are workin’ honey bees ain’t comin’ home wildfires rage, up in the mountains the hardest years I’ve ever known roots run deep, like a redwood tree the sun it smiled on you and me wild butterflies flutterin’ away a nice warm breeze, on a summer’s day the clouds rolled by, and the clouds roll by I’ll say goodbye say goodbye goodbye mmmm

Hold each other, as we fall asleep Everything's gonna be alright Oh, in our dreams sun is shining bright Walk alone this time, ain’t no friends of mine Gonna help me now, as I allow The smoke to seep inside, lay here by my side Folded on my bed, under the pillow too Hanging by my nails, memories of you Put them in a drawer, like I always do Open a window before I go to sleep Everything's gonna be alright Oh, in my dreams, moon is shining bright Passing all the signs, buses run on time Driving through the night, sunrise on goodbye Almost too far gone, the road ahead seems long
