Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met a man wearin' a t-shirt
Said "Virginia is for lovers"
Had a bible in his left hand
And a bottle in the other
[Verse 2]
He said "all you're really given
Is the sunshine in your name"
We both started laughin'
When the sky started to rain
[Chorus]
Get along on down the road
We’ve got a long, long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain’t perfect, but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall
Learn to dance, call your Mom
Buy a boat, drink a beer
Sing a song, make a friend
Can't we all
Get along
[Verse 3]
Saw a model on a billboard
A 1-800 - get to know me
Wondered was she photoshopped
Or were her eyes really that lonely?
Did she leave her hometown
Thinkin' she'd end up in LA?
Did she break down in the desert
And get stuck beside the highway?
[Chorus]
Get along on down the road
We’ve got a long, long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain’t perfect, but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall
Learn to dance, call your Mom
Buy a boat, drink a beer
Sing a song, make a friend
Can't we all
Get along
[Bridge]
You find out when you die
The keys to heaven can't be bought
We still don't know what love is
But we sure know what it's not
Sometimes you got to
Get along
[Chorus]
On down the road
We’ve got a long, long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain’t perfect, but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall
Learn to dance, call your Mom
Buy a boat, drink a beer
Sing a song, make a friend
Can't we all
Get along
