Everybody Does

[Verse 1]

Not everybody drinks whiskey, not everybody drinks beer

Some people Roll Tide, some people Buckeye, some Volunteer

Some have babies, some have none

Some preach peace, and some preach guns

Keep in their Ford or Chevrolet trucks for ducks and deer

[Verse 2]

Not everybody votes red, not everybody votes blue

Some people smoke dope, some people just smoke, and some just chew

So when I sit down with my six string

And try to write something that we can all sing

Half the time, there's only one thing I know to do

[Chorus]

So excuse the hell out of me if I can't quit goin' on about

Another goodbye, third rock, heartbeat

Another someone six feet in the ground

The world can't shake hands on a whole lot

But there's a whole lot of granite laid in the green

And all I'm sayin' is we can't run from it but the man that's runnin' this music machine

Says "Switch it up" and I'm tryin'

They're on my ass because

I got all these songs about dyin'

But it's the only thing that everybody does

[Verse 3]

Nobody knows

What's gonna take you down

All we know is passin' on ain't a Hell we can go around

They say there ain't no money in them songs

But the guy that runs that funeral home's

Got a big ol' house on a real nice side of town

[Chorus]

So excuse the hell out of me if I can't quit goin' on about

Another goodbye, third rock, heartbeat

Another someone six feet in the ground

The world can't shake hands on a whole lot

But there's a whole lot of granite laid in the green

And all I'm sayin' is we can't run from it but the man that's runnin' this music machine

Says "Switch it up" and I'm tryin'

They're on my ass because

I got all these songs about dyin'

But it's the only thing that everybody does
