🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Say you, say me
  • Say it for always
  • That's the way it should be
  • Say you, say me

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Say you, say me
  • Say it together, naturally
  • As we go down life's lonesome highway
  • Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
that'stogethernaturally
