Good to Know Ya

Fate came knocking at my door

Like thunder in a rainstorm today

Caught me on the back foot,

Scared to lose it if I looked away

Chances come and chances go

But this is one I’ll never know again

I’m inclined to take it

I’ll just have to fake it ‘till I’m made

What’s your name? Are you going my way?

It’s good to know ya

I’ve never been the kind to walk by

Without a smile or a wave

And I don’t understand those

Who only look down their nose or away

Despite the ups and downs

If we take a look around we’re all the same

So forgive me when I say

I’d like to see a little kindness for a change

What’s your name? Are you going my way?

It’s good to know ya

Sometimes when you’re alone

It cuts you right down to the bone and makes you cry

Planning for the best

But it’s the worst that rears it’s head every time

It’s so hard to pull yourself up

Nothing ever seems to work, so why try?

You’ve got to make your bed, lay your head

And thank your lucky stars you’re alive

What’s your name? Are you going my way?

It’s good to know ya
