I used to try to get along with Everybody that I knew But now it seems like something's wrong With simply disagreeing with you It's hard to understand what's up with anything valuable I find And so I'm definitely done with trying to change anyone's mind Back east, out west, uptight, downcast Everyone's a little on edge Hey, put your socks on, hard times are almost gone We gotta get along If there's some things we can agree on I'd love to know just what they are If there's some common ground to walk on I hope it's not very far Back east, out west, uptight, downcast Everyone's a little on edge Hey, put your socks on, hard times are almost gone We gotta get along So should you find an iffy jackpot Be very careful what you do 'Cause there's a decent chance you might not value it as much as I do Back east, out west, uptight, downcast Everyone's a little on edge Hey, put your socks on, hard times are almost gone We gotta get along Back east, out west, uptight, downcast Everyone's a little on edge Hey, put your socks on, hard times are almost gone We gotta get along
