Get Through the Day

Well the bills are piling up and times are getting tough,

And I don’t see an end in sight.

Never been too good at playing in the rough but I’m trying with all my might.

Lord I’m trying with all my might

Well I got me a woman. She’s a real good woman,

But she just don’t understand,

Why if I work my fingers to the bone it ain’t workin’ out like we planned.

No, it ain’t workin’ out like we planned.

When it all starts getting too much for me and I’m out of good things to say,

Well I turn to the only way I can see that I can get through my day.

Lord help me get through the day

Well I step outside and I smoke another bowl,

Step back inside and I drink a little more,

And my mind starts movin’ just a little bit slower,

And everything seems okay.

I have one more shot just to get the job done,

And I feel a little better and I’m ready for fun.

I think my troubles are on the run, and I can get through my day.

Lord help me get through the day.

Well I’ve been told to gain control I should keep the good Lord close.

Then I see the preacher at the watering where I get my daily dose,

And he’s gettin’ his daily dose.

As far as I can tell I ain’t goin’ to hell for tryin’ to have a little bit of fun.

Well I might be known for gettin’ drunk and stoned but I never have hurt no one.

No I never have hurt no one.

And I know I’m not the only man that’s lookin’ for a better way.

There’s a lot of us hurtin’ doin’ all we can just to get through the day.

Lord just to get through the day.

I step outside and I smoke another bowl,

Step back inside and I drink a little more,

And my mind starts movin’ just a little bit slower,

And everything seems okay.

I have one more shot just to get the job done,

And I feel a little better and I’m ready for fun.

I think my troubles are on the run, then I can get through my day.

Lord then I can get through my day.
