There once was a time when I would sit at home and be jealous for all the fun the world was having But then I caught on when someone showed me how I could get in on the fun and get my share of laughing They said, come on over to our side, gonna laugh and dance, get around, have fun to the good sound of a country song Come on over to our side while we sing a country song There once was a man and he couldn't understand, with all his money he still felt all alone and haunted Now he needed friends and that's something you can't buy So I told him, ha, to find all the friends he wanted I said, come on over to our side, gonna laugh and dance, get around, have fun to the good sound of a country song Come on over to our side while we sing a country song Now I'm telling you what you should do, don't be a highfalutin' teetotalin' hoity-toity Go ahead and have fun, there's room for everyone Country music is not a stage, it's a living room and we're having a party Come on over to our side, gonna laugh and dance, get around, have fun to the good sound of a country song Come on over to our side while we sing a country song
