My Leadership

Song

 Song:

Get Along by Kenny Chesney

 Song Lyrics:
Met a man wearin' a t-shirt, says "Virginia is for
lovers"
Had a Bible in his left hand and a bottle in the
other
He says "All you're really given is the sunshine
and your name"
We both started laughin' when the sky started to
rain
Get along, on down the road
We've got a long long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain't perfect but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall, learn to dance
Call your mom, buy a boat
Drink a beer, sing a song
Make a friend, can't we all get along
Saw a model on a billboard, 1-800
get to know me
Wondered was she photoshopped, or
were her eyes really that lonely?
Did she leave her hometown thinkin'
she'd end up in L.A.?
Did she break down in the desert and
get stuck beside the highway?
Get along, on down the road
We've got a long long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain't perfect but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall, learn to dance
Call your mom, buy a boat
Drink a beer, sing a song
Make a friend, can't we all get along
We find out when you die the keys to heaven can't
be bought
We still don't know what love is but we sure know
what it's not
Sometimes you got to
Get along, on down the road
We've got a long long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain't perfect but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall, learn to dance
Call your mom, buy a boat
Drink a beer, sing a song
Make a friend, can't we all get along
Correlation to Leadership
The song is about getting along with those around you, doing things outside of your comfort
zone, and helping others when you can. As a leader, it’s important to be kind and giving to
show as an example to those following you. It’s always great to give back and help others
when you’re in a leadership position, and that’s what this song is about. Giving and
receiving love from your peers because we’re all just trying to get through life so why are
we so cruel?
Why It Inspires Me
This song has inspired me since it came out. I’ve always been the type of person to be
overly kind to everyone, especially strangers. There’s too much hate in the world to be
bickering and fighting, we need to all come together and enjoy the rollercoaster of life
together. The best lyric in the song is “We find out when you die the keys to heaven can't be
bought” and even if you aren’t religious it represents a great message, you have the choice
to make if you want to be a good person to others and eventually your good karma might
come back around.
