You Got That Right

Lynyrd Skynyrd · Icon: Lynyrd Skynyrd [2010]

Well I've heard lots of people say

They're gonna settle down

You don't see their faces

And they don't come around

Well I'm not that way

I got to move along



I like to drink and to dance all night

Comes to a fix not afraid to fight

You got that right

Said, you got that right

Sure got that right



Seems so long I been out on my own

Travel light and I'm always alone

Guess I was born with a travellin' bone

When my times up, I'll hold my own

You won't find me in an old folks home

You got that right

Well you got that right

Said, you got that right

Sure got that right

I tried everything in my life

Things I like I try 'em twice

You got that right

Sure got that right



Travellin' around the world, just singing my song

I got to go, Lord I can't stay long

Here comes that ol' travellin' jones once again

I like to drink and to dance all night

Comes to a fix not afraid to fight

You got that right

Said, you got that right

Well you got that right

Sure got that right
