The Copper Smoke Trials - Get Along Lyrics

As a boy I remember I'd often hear my name
Called out through the back door, my protests were in vain
I'd run to the house full of regret and full of shame
My father's voice like thunder and rain

And he'd say
Little boy, why cantcha go and do right
Look here, quit goin' round pickin' those fights
Be kind, to each and everyone
Trust me, it'll be so much more fun

Get Along

The years brought us courage and whole attitude
You got so much, when you're young, to prove
Puttin' down my fellow man was my favorite game
And then again, I'd pretend that I didn't act the same

And he'd say
Little boy, why cantcha go and do right
Look here, quit goin' round pickin' those fights
Be kind, to each and everyone
Trust me, it'll be so much more fun

Get Along

Well out on my own, it's an easy thing to do
To never ask for help and play the fool
But my father taught me young, and his lessons stay the same
'Bout decency, and makin' yourself a name

And he'd say
Little boy, growin' up strong and right
Look here, followin' the path of the light
Be kind, the world'll be kind to you
Trust me, this is my ultimate truth

Get Along
Get Along
