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

(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
