Get To Livin'

Dolly Parton

Get To Livin'

Verse 1:

People always coming up to me

And asking "Dolly what's your secret?

With all you do your attitude just seems

To be so good how do you keep it?

Well am not the Dalai Lama but ill try

To Offer up a few word of advice

Chorus:

You'd better get to living, Givin'

Don't forget to throw in a little forgiving'

And lovin' on the way

You'd better get knowing, showing

A little bit more concerned about where you're going

Just a word unto the wise

You'd better get to livin'

Verse 2:

A girlfriend came to my house

Started cryin' on my shoulder

Sunday evening. (Better Get To Living)

She's she was spinnin' such a sad tale I couldn't believe

The yarn that she was waving'

So negative the words she had to say

I said "If I had a violin I'd Play"

Chorus:

I said you'd better get to living, give in

Be willing and forgivin'

Cos our healin' has to start with you

You Better stop wining, pining

Get your dreams in line and just

Shine, Design, Refine until They Come True

And you'd better get to living

Bridge:

Your life's a wreck your house is a mess

And your wardrobe is way outdated

All your plans just keep on falling through

Overweight and underpaid

Underappreciated

Am no guru but I tell you this I know is true

Chorus:

You'd better get to living, givin'

A little more thought about been a little more willing

To make a better way (make a better Way)

Don't sweat the small stuff, keep your chin up

Just hang tough, and If it get too rough

Fall on your knees and pray, and do that everyday

Then you'll get to livin'

Outro:

The day were born we start to die

So don't waste one minute of this life

Get to livin! (Get to livin')

Share your dreams and share your Laughter and Make some points

For the great hereafter. (Get to Livin')

Better start caring

Better start sharing

Better start tryin'

Better start smilin'
