Gettin’ By Song Lyrics

Gettin’ By by Steve Earle

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

Just getting by on getting by’s my stock in trade
Living it day to day, and
Just picking up 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 [?] pacing the floor
Oh Danny don’t you worry, something 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, and
Just picking up 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, sun ’bout to come out
I’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, and
Just picking up 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, and
Just picking up 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
