A                                            G                     D
Working up a fever in a one-horse town was a Jockey by the name of Joe
   A
He didn't have a lot of what you might call "luck"
    G                           D
But he had a lot of "get-up-and-go"

[Chorus]
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

[Verse 2]
A
Tall in the saddle in a one-horse town
     G                         D
Joey knew someday he'd hit the road
A                                                   G                    D
He traded with a dealer for a pick up truck and was lookin' for a medium-load

[Chorus]
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

[Verse 3]
A
Cruisin' down the highway, doin' sixty-five,
       G                          D
In the middle of the double-white line.
A
Foot down on the gas and his head in the clouds.
   G                        D
He didn't see the 'one way' sign.

[Chorus]
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home

A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
A                             G                  D
Get up and go, Get up and go, Get up and go back home
