The Git Go Lyrics - Live At Billy Bob's Texas - Billy Joe Shaver

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way 

Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite 

Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right 

Well they woke up naked with a bit headache 

He been done in by a slippery snake 

a man and a woman get to live a while and then they die 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way 

Politicians make promises that they can't keep 

They keep printin' money 'till they get in way too deep 

It's the same old lesson, they never learn, 

They're too busy workin' on their next term 

Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and me 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way 

Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive 

Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight 

High-rollers crap out ev'ry time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice 

War is the beast that makes ev'ry mother cry 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way 

He told the truth, and they hung him up to die 

The son of God who created you and I 

He said it in the Good Book and letters in red 

But we keep on forgettin' ev'ry thing He said 

Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

It's been that way since the git go 

Lord it's always been that way
