(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
