DOLLY PARTON - We'll Get Ahead Someday lyrics

rate me

(Mack Magaha)

We'll get ahead someday

We'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and we're both cut down

We'll get ahead someday.

Well, I get up early, work hard all day

Listen to the troubles of my friends

But I did'nt realize till I get home

What an awful shape we're in.

The car's wore out, kids need shoes

Got a bill from a doctor today

The landlord said you'll get out tomorrow

If you don't get me some pay.

We'll get ahead someday...

We'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and we're both cut down

We'll get ahead someday.

--- Instrumental ---

The paper says there's a sale downtown

I gotta have some money today

Well, there's things at home that ain't never been used

You bought last bargain day.

Well, you go out one Saturday night

Just spend too much money on wine

Well, I work hard all week long

And I gotta have a little fun sometimes.

We'll get ahead someday

We'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and we're both cut down

We'll get ahead someday.

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down

We'll get ahead someday...
