David Lee Murphy - Why Can't People Just Get Along lyrics

(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
