Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, we were travelling on the Chester Road

A lorry driver picking up a load

Said, "Where you heading, boys, you need a ride?"

We said "We're heading down south", and we jumped inside

[Chorus]

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were making our way down south

Oh yeah, oh yeah, down south

[Verse 2]

The morning bus was where we two would meet

I sat beside you on an empty seat

We'd talk about guitars and Rock and Roll

They were the subjects that would never grow old

[Chorus]

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

Before we learned to twist and shout

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Before we learned to twist and shout

[Verse 3]

The lorry went as far as he could go

And dropped us off beside a busy road

We had to find somewhere to stay the night

But we knew that we would be alright

[Chorus]

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were bombing around down south

Oh yeah, oh yeah, down south

[Outro]

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were bombing around down south
