WE'LL GET AHEAD SOMEDAY

Duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner

Writer Mack Magaha

Copyright 1967 We'll get ahead somedays we'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down we'll get ahead someday

Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends

But I don't realize till I get home whan an awful shape we're in

The car's wore out kids need shoes got a bill from a doctor today

The landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay

We'll get ahead someday...

The paper says there's a sale downtown I gotta have some money today

Well there's things at home that's never been used you bought last bargain day

Well you go out one Saturday night just spend too much money on wine

Well I work hard all week long and I gotta have a little fun sometimes

We'll get ahead someday...

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down we'll get ahead someday
