From the recording THE LONG HAUL
The hit single!!! (hehe). A song about lasting friendships. Includes a line about the post-pandemic world: “They’re semi-sober/They’re set on Stun/ They’ve had all their shots and they’re ready for fun”!!!
Lyrics
Chorus 1:
Everybody I Know
Gets together and laughs until they’re blue
Everybody I Know
Calls their mother and tells her “I love you”
Verse 1:
It’s good to see ya – you’re looking fine
Let me introduce you to some friends of mine
They’re semi-sober – they’re set to stun
They’ve had all their shots and they’re ready for fun
Chorus 2:
Everybody I Know
Goes the distance from bad to good to great
Everybody I Know
Knows there’s always something to celebrate
Verse 2:
The Rock em/Sock em Robots – the Babes on Fire
There’s Feter and Arlan and the midnight choir
Don’t forget Silky and Ms. Chifforobe too
A tenor and a fiddle and Big Yahoo!!
Chorus 3:
Everybody I Know
Is telling stories and lying about the past
Everybody I Know
Rolls em slowly and makes that sucker last
Bridge
I feel so lucky – It’s back in style
The love’s contagious – I can’t help but smile
I take em all with me everywhere I go
Everybody I Know (2x)
Verse 3:
Break it down to the simple things
Lose the Blues and we’ll see what swings
Friends will always tell you when you’ve had enough
Friends will always be there when the going gets tough
Chorus4
Everybody I Know
Cracks the window to catch the summer breeze
Everybody I Know
Is always open to possibilities
Bridge - Repeat
I feel so lucky – It’s back in style
The love’s contagious – I can’t help but smile
I take em all with me everywhere I go
Everybody I Know (repeat thru outro)
