Song : Why can`t people just get along
 

(David Lee Murphy/Minnie Pearl)

Well they took me home in the back of a checker
cab
After somebody took a chair cross the back of my
head
My mama said bring him on in
And when they told her where I`d been she said
Why can`t people just get along

Well mama never said a word as she patched my
head
I figured she wasn`t happy with me gettin` her
out of bed
I said mama I hope you ain`t mad
She said come on we`re going back hey
Why can`t people just get along

Why can`t people just get along
What a world it would be
If we could all just have fun
`Cause it don`t do nobody right
When it comes down to a fight hey
Why can`t people just get along

Now when I got trouble ain`t no one I`d rather
have
Than my mama next to me with a broken bottle in
her hand
She went in swingin` and when she got through
Everybody saw her point of view she said
Why can`t people just get along

Why can`t people just get along
What a world it would be
If we could all just have fun
`Cause it don`t do nobody right
When it comes down to a fight hey
Why can`t people just get along

Well now things don`t always run smooth in a
honky tonk
And some nights somebody`s gonna rub somebody
wrong
And in those isolated incidents
We all loose our common sense hey
Why can`t people just get along

Why can`t people just get along
What a world it would be
If we could all just have fun
`Cause it don`t do nobody right
When it comes down to a fight hey
Why can`t people just get along
