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
Getting high
High
Getting high
High
Been getting high
