Gettin' Back Together
Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley
good times that we once knew
Now think about the sad times I'm going through
And gettin' back together is hard to do
Gettin' back together that's all that I want I had
my good times I've had my fun
Now if we have some bad times we'll see them through
Cause gettin' back together is hard to do
Gettin' back together me and you well it seems like
forever that I been missin' you
I wanna build the bridges I burned in two gettin' back
together is hard to do
Gettin' back together is hard to do
