Billy Joe Shaver - The Git Go lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

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 way

(Verse)

Woman tried the apple, and the man had to take a bite

And a thing 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 die

(Chorus)

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 way

(Verse 2)

Politicians made promises that they can't keep

They keep printing money till they get in way too deep

It's the same old lesson, they never learn,

They're too busy working on their next term

Politicians keep making fools out of you and me

(Chorus)

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 way

(Verse 3)

Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive

Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight

High rollers crap out every time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice

War is the beast that makes every mother cry

(Chorus)

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 way

(Verse 4)

He 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 forgetting every thing He said

Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I

(Chorus x2)

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 way
