When We Get Together

I've been holding on to something
While the years keep slippin' away
Holding close to the vest and excusing myself from living my best days
But now the words are flowing, and the music's going
I'm meeting them both on the way
And when we get together
There ain't no other place to be

Me and my baby both work all day, halfway into the night
It's dark both ways, going in and away
You know I barely get to see daylight
But once she gets home and our troubles are gone, I know it's 'bout to be alright
Cause when we get together
There ain't no other place to be
I said, when we get together
There ain't no other place to be

So tell me why can't I place it
When I'm traveling through time and space just thinking
If I could get everybody that I want to, in the same room
Bring back the good memories
When we get together
There ain't no other place to be

I went down to Texas
And Texas made me see
That it never would matter how far we scatter from Texas to Tennessee
Me and my friends are gonna do it again
If you need a little company
When we get together
There Ain't no other place to be

So tell me why can't I place it
When I'm traveling through time and space just thinking
If I could get everybody that I want to, in the same room
Bring back the good memories
When we get together
There ain't no other place to be

We've lost so many people, and I know that we all have to leave
But knowing don't make it any easier, no matter what you believe
But I believe there's light across the other side
And again, one day we will meet
And when we get together
There ain't no other place to be
When we get together
There ain't no other place to be
