[Verse 1]
AWorking up a fever in a one-horse town was a GJockey by the name of DJoe
He Adidn't have a lot of what you might call "luck"
But Ghe had a lot of "get-up-and-Dgo"
[Chorus]
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
[Verse 2]
ATall in the saddle in a one-horse town
Joey Gknew someday he'd hit the Droad
AHe traded with a dealer for a pick up truck and was Glookin' for a medium-Dload
[Chorus]
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
[Verse 3]
ACruisin' down the highway, doin' sixty-five,
In the Gmiddle of the double-white Dline.
AFoot down on the gas and his head in the clouds.
He Gdidn't see the 'one way' Dsign.
[Chorus]
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome
AGet up and go, Get up and go, GGet up and go back Dhome

Working up a fever in a one-horse town was a Jockey by the name of Joe

But he had a lot of "get-up-and-go"

[Chorus]

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

[Verse 2]

Tall in the saddle in a one-horse town

Joey knew someday he'd hit the road

He traded with a dealer for a pick up truck and was lookin' for a medium-load

[Chorus]

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

[Verse 3]

Cruisin' down the highway, doin' sixty-five,

In the middle of the double-white line.

Foot down on the gas and his head in the clouds.

He didn't see the 'one way' sign.

Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
