I'm Getting By

Jesus Christ came at the wrong time

Knew the right words had the best lines

And here I am sitting in this lonely bar

I’m mumbling “I’ve never gone too far”

And stumbling

Jerry Lee sang tunes for all times

Knew the blues and big boss man’s mind

So here I am hammering this old guitar

I’m grumbling “I’ve never gone too far”

And wondering

I’m getting by

Getting by … high

Been getting high

Made my own road on my own time

Dug my own grave walked on land mines

But now and then I wander back to where we start

I’m hungry and I’ve never gone too far

It’s humbling

I’m getting by

Getting by … high

Been getting high

I can’t see getting any older

Take this weight up off my shoulders

I can’t breathe I can’t leave any lower

I’m getting by

Bye/Hi

Getting high… high

Getting high… high

Been getting high
