Dolly Parton – We'll Get Ahead Someday lyrics

WE'LL GET AHEAD SOMEDAY
Duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner

We'll get ahead someday, we'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we both cut 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 what an awful shape we're in
The car's worn out, the kids need shoes, got a bill from the 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 ain't never been used, you bought last bargain day
Well, you go out on Saturday night, and spend too much money on wine
Well, I work hard all week long, and I gotta have a little fun sometime
We'll get ahead someday...
If the sun comes up and we both cut down we'll get ahead someday
