We're Gonna Try to Get Along
Tammy Wynette · Me and the First Lady (George Jones & Tammy Wynette) [Epic] [1972]
We're gonna try to get along everyday
We're gonna search our hearts right now and find the way
From now on we're gonna sing a happy song
Everyday we're gonna try to get along.
Yes, we love each other so and that is why
If we don't try now, love might pass us by
We should keep it in the family that's the place
And that's way to keep a smile upon our face.
So we're gonna try to get along everyday
We're gonna search our hearts right now and find the way
From now on we're gonna sing a happy song
Everyday we're gonna try to get along.
Take the kids, go away on a trip
Ride a plane take a train or a ship
Anything to make us laugh and have some fun
Doing this might get the old ball game won.
We're gonna try to get along everyday
We're gonna search our hearts right now and find the way
From now on we're gonna sing a happy song
Everyday we're gonna try to get along.
We're gonna try to get along everyday
We're gonna search our hearts right now and find the way
From now on we're gonna sing a happy song
Everyday we're gonna try to get along...
