Don't Get Pushed Aside

 

Don't Get Pushed Aside

Written by Scott Wainwright

I saw lightening strike

And it didn't feel right

Bag 'em now tag 'em

In the dead of the night

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside

Hang it on the wall

Did you heed the call?

Of the Holy Ghost

Of the engine stall

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside

I swear I heard shootin'

While you were busy bootin'

Please hold the line

Because here comes the lootin'

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside

I miss the Terraplane

But I can't complain

Because the hounds of hell

are on the morning train

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside

(bridge)

I don't want to get up

And go to school

I don't want to stay home

And play the fool

Just want to hear

Ol' Kokomo

He's gonna show me

How its got to go

Their standards will sink

If they let you think

They'll show you the fountain

But won't let you drink

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside

Hold out for cash

Before the crash

Because the Cayman Islands

Has the biggest stash

And slide Kokomo, oh Kokomo slide

It's time to go now

Don't get pushed aside
