Get Along

Kenny Chesney

Met a man wearin’ a t-shirt, says “Virginia is for lovers”

Had a Bible in his left hand and a bottle in the other

He says “All you’re really given is the sunshine and your name”

We both started laughin’ when the sky started to rain

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

Saw a model on a billboard, 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 L.A.?

Did she break down in the desert and get stuck beside the highway?

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

We 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, 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

Background

The single follows suit of country singer Kenny Chesney’s song library with strong guitars cutting through the noise and a positive beat you can tap to. The single brings humbleness to humankind in saying, at the end of the day, life is too short to not do all the things that we deem as tedious or not necessary like “paint a wall, learn to dance, call your mom, buy a boat...” The main question being addressed is “why can’t we all just get along?”
