The Git Go (Studio Bonus) Lyrics


It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that wayWoman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right
Well they woke up naked with a bit headache
He been done in by a slippery snake
a man and a woman get to live a while and then they dieIt's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that wayPoliticians make promises that they can't keep
They keep printin' money 'till they get in way too deep
It's the same old lesson, they never learn,
They're too busy workin' on their next term
Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and meIt's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that wayMoney breeds war, as long as there's a man alive

Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
High-rollers crap out ev'ry time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice
War is the beast that makes ev'ry mother cryIt's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that wayHe told the truth, and they hung him up to die
The son of God who created you and I
He said it in the Good Book and letters in red
But we keep on forgettin' ev'ry thing He said
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and IIt's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that wayIt's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go
Lord it's always been that way

Billy Joe Shaver is an American country music singer/songwriter. He was born August 16, 1939 in Corsicana, Texas. Shaver's 1973 album Old Five and Dimers Like Me is a classic in the outlaw country genre. Shaver was raised by his mother, Victory Watson Shaver, after his father Virgil left the family before he was born. Until he was 12, he spent a great deal of time with his grandmother in Waco, Texas so that his mother could work. He sometimes accompanied his mother to her job at a local nightclub, where he began to be exposed to country music.[1]
