Lyrics




You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "that's all"
You know there's nothin' like good ol' common everyday horse sense
And there's nothin' like a good ol' common everyday song
Now, you put 'em both together and what you got?
Just a plain ol' common everyday horse sense song
That's sorta the way you'd describe this
Little ol' song I'd like to sing for you
Called, "That's All"
Now, some people go to school tryin' to learn how to teach
And some go to school tryin' to learn how to preach
If you can't preach without goin' to school
Then you ain't no preacher, you's a educated fool
And that's all
And that's all
You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "that's all"
Now, a feller I know, he's a miser man
Keeps tryin' to save all the money he can
But when that ol' undertaker lets him down
Where's he gonna spend his money? Under the ground
And that's all
And that's all
You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "that's all"
Now, man come from monkeys, some folks say
But the good book don't quite tell it that way
Now, if you believe that monkey tale like some people do
Then I'd rather be the monkey, brother, than you
And that's all
And that's all
You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "that's all"
Well, my little song is finished, my little song is through
I didn't necessarily mean to sing the song for you
But if you don't like the way the little song goes
That's a mighty good sign I've been a-trompin' on your toes
And that's all
And that's all
You better change your way of livin'
'Fore the good Lord say, "that's all"
And that's all
