Hatin' Somebody

I may never like your shoes You may never like mine We may never be all cheers drinkin' beers Arm in arm singin' "Auld Lang Syne" But maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle Like strings 'tween a fiddle and a bow You need a paddle on the left, paddle on the right 'Cause we're all in the same damn boat Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere It's a bad seed to sow, it's a dead end road when you go there Makin' any headway that way ain't got no prayer (no prayer) Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere We're all going somewhere When we ain't here no more We're all going somewhere And we're all going through the same door Now wakin' up and puttin' that smile on Beats the hell out of wakin' up dead That ain't how grandpa always was But it is what he always said, now Stick a stubborn hillbilly In the middle of the city Gotta learn how not to throw stones He didn't live long enough to hear this song But he lived long enough to know, know, know Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere It's a bad seed to sow, it's a dead end road when you go there Makin' any headway that way ain't got no prayer (no prayer) Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere (no, no, nowhere) Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere It's a bad seed to sow, it's a dead end road when you go there, yeah Makin' any headway that way ain't got no prayer (no prayer) Hatin' somebody ain't never got nobody nowhere (come on) We're all going somewhere When we ain't here no more We're all going somewhere And we're all going through the same door (you know what I'm talkin' about) We're all going somewhere When we ain't here no more We're all going somewhere And we're all going through the same door
