It was seven hundred fenceposts from your place to ours Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine 

Chorus - I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road to long 

If we meet - - -  in the middle 

It's been seven years tomorrow since we became friends Under that old pine tree, we ought to see again
Standing in the back road reminding me and you
That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do 

Chorus - I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road to long 

If we meet - - -  in the middle

And I’m glad we work it out That’s what friends are all about 

Chorus - I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road to long 

If we meet - - -  in the middle 

Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle, wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight 

Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go 

Down to Highway 10, past the Lafayette There's the Baton Rouge and I won't forget To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home 

Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle, wanna beg for more
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight (Hey!) 

They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A Gulf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin' on the Delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows But here up north it's a cold, cold rain 

And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says "Beausoleil is a-coming into town" Baby let's go down 

Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle, wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight 

Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister, too They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from a-1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again 

Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon 

Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle, wanna beg for more Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight 

If you see your brother standing by the road With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, "You're going the wrong way" 

But you've got to try a little kindness Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness 

Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets 

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day Will help someone along their way 

You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets 

You got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets 

We're all in the same boat
Fishing in the same hole
Wondering where the same time goes We're all in the same boat 

We can all believe what we believe Peacefully agree to disagree
But you can't judge a man
Until you walk a country mile in his shoes Root-n-doo-doot-doo 

We're all in the same boat
Fishing in the same hole
Wondering where the same time goes And money, too
Trying to fix the same broke hearts Wishing on the same stars
We're all hoping hope floats
We're all in the same boat 

Share them peaches, if you're holding Take a chance and keep on going
If you can't be nice
Don't say nothing at all 

So help somebody who might be struggling Spread a little love, gotta give back something If the boat keeps rocking
We'll all go overboard 

We're all in the same boat
Fishing in the same hole
Wondering where the same time goes And money, too
Trying to fix the same broke hearts 

Wishing on the same stars We're all hoping hope floats We're all in the same boat We're all hoping hope floats We're all in the same boat 

I've always been a rolling stone
With a reckless streak
Yeah, the grass never gets too grown Underneath my feet
The city lights, southern stars
No such thing as gone too far 

I'm running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any map dot location
You're always my destination
You're the only thing that I'm chained to I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you 

I'm running wide open
I was born with my feet in motion
But since I met you, I swear
I could be happy anywhere
Any map dot location
You're always my destination
You're the only thing that I'm chained to I could be happy anywhere
I could be happy anywhere with you
I could be happy anywhere with you
