Gettin' By

The game must be loaded cause I never win

These things never did treat me good

But keep the fire warm dear and I’ll see you again

Lord knows that someday I should

It’s a strange old feeling these passing lane blues

But it’s nothing I ain’t never felt before

You nailed down my conscience and you forced me to choose

And my soul I let slip through your door

And I’ll be doing just fine oh fine

No matter how hard I don’t try

And if it’s raining on the fourth of July

I believe I’ll be gettin’ by

The cheaper the ride the cheaper the thrill

You can’t trust the shadow through the curtain

But if I took you for granted would you send me the bill

There’s one thing that I know for certain

All I’ve got is this time on my hands

And time oh time it’s a breakin’

Just one lost memory and the price you demand

I loved you but I could have been mistaken

And I’ll be doing just fine oh fine

No matter how hard I don’t try

And if it’s raining on the fourth of July

I believe I’ll be gettin’ by

Time makes you older or that’s what they say)

I come to find out it ain’t so

Time makes you colder and farther away

And farther and farther you go and I’ll be doing just fine oh fine no matter how hard I don’t try and if it’s raining on the fourth of July I believe I’ll be gettin’ by
