Well, we were traveling on the Chester Road
A lorry driver picking up a load said
Where you heading, boys? You need a ride?
We said we're heading down south
And we jumped inside

It was a good way to get to know you
A fine way to work it all out
It was a good way to get to know you
As we were making our way down south
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, down south

The morning bus was where we two would meet
I sat beside you on an empty seat
We talked about guitars and rock and roll
They were the subjects that would never grow old

It was a good way to get to know you
A fine way to work it all out
It was a good way to get to know you
Before we learned to twist and shout
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Before we learned to twist and shout

The lorry went as far as he could go
And dropped us off beside a busy road
We had to find somewhere to stay the night
But we knew that we would be alright

It was a good way to get to know you
A fine way to work it all out
It was a good way to get to know you
As we were bummin' around down south
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, down south
It was a good way to get to know you
As we were bummin' around down south
