There you go drivin' in your big long car
You got a house overlooking the town
But be nice to everybody on your way up
You're gonna meet 'em again coming down

Well you don't even speak when we pass on the street
You don't even know your old friends
But don't get too proud you're gonna need the old crowd
Cause we all remember you when

Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
[ dobro - harmonica ]
Not long ago you crossed over the tracks
And now you don't know me at all
It takes a long time you know for a big tree to grow
But just a few seconds to fall

Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
Well there you go drivin' in your big long car...
Yeah be nice to everybody on your way up
You're gonna meet 'em again coming down
