Gettin' By

(album: Jerry Jeff - 2022)

Hi buckaroos, Steve Earle again
I'm trying my best to be Jerry Jeff Walker once more
Don't ask me how I did it, just did it like I knew it
Hey, been down this road once or twice before

Just getting by on getting by's my stock-in-trade, living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go

Just last week I was thinking, oh it's record time again
I can see Danny Goldberg pacing the floor
Oh Danny don't you worry, something's bound to come out
We've been down this road once or twice before

Just getting by on getting by's my stock-in-trade, living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go

Income tax is overdue, oh what else is new?
Been busted and I don't wanna get busted no more
I'll catch it all later, something bound to come out
I've been down this road once or twice before

Yeah, just getting by on getting by's my stock-in-trade, living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go

Just getting by on getting by's my stock-in-trade, living it day-to-day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go
Yeah, I'm just living my life easy come, easy go
