lyrics
“Get Along”
By Don Walker
Drivin’ down the highway,
I'm thinkin' about my girl,
Tryin' to find a station with a song;
They estimate that there are seven billion people in this world,
And I spend my time wondering how
The other 6 billion, 9 hundred 99 million,
9 hundred an' 99 thousand, 9 hundred an' 99
Get along, get along.
Gotta find a station, that can take me away,
To where I wanna be before I'm gone;
A little house above the beach,
That I might buy one day,
And there we’ll be, me an' that girl,
Sittin' there watchin' the big ships on the horizon,
Stocked up for whenever her children,
Wanna drop by, for a while.
Get along.
Wrong side of the blanket,
Blind side of the dog,
I'm eyeball deep an' all's asleep,
I never got to log,
Freeway decent, six thirty show,
Gauge runnin’ hot and I know I’m not
The only one out here,
I drop her down a cog,
Gotta paint the diesel,
Pay the banks an' stay alive,
Gotta weigh in legal,
Just fill those tanks and drive.
Drivin’ down the highway,
An' I'm thinkin' about my girl,
Tryin' to find a station with a song,
They estimate there are seven billion people in this world,
And I spend my time wondering how
The other 6 billion, 9 hundred 99 million,
9 hundred an' 99 thousand, 9 hundred an' 99
Get along, get along.
