Lyrics
Be Nice To Everybody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There you go drivin' in your big long car you got a house overlooking the town
But be nice to everybody on your way up you're gonna need 'em again coming down
You don't even speak when we pass on the street you don't even know your old friends
But don't get too proud you're gonna need the old crowd
Cause we all remember you when
There you go drivin' in your big long car...
[ piano - steel ]
Not long ago you crossed over the tracks and now you don't know me at all
Takes a long time you know for a big tree to grow but just a few seconds to fall
There you go drivin' in your big long car...
There you go drivin' in your big long car...
You're gonna need 'em again comin' down
You're gonna need 'em again comin' down
