Came in last night about a half past three No one was waitin’ up and there to love on me I sat down on the couch and I turned the t.v. on Watched Andy Griffith and I cried ‘til the break of dawn.
(Chorus) I’m gettin’ by alright, I’m doin’ well Things are lookin’ up, as far as I can tell I’ve had some hard knocks, but I got back up I’m gettin’ by alright, yeah girl I’m hangin’ tough.
My friends all warned me, boy you’re gonna wind up dead The boss man wonders just what’s running through my head But I don’t mind what all the people got to say Still got this old guitar to chase my blues away. And honey.
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ve felt the bad end of a love that’s fell apart Seen the ruin of so many broken hearts God only knows all the destruction I’ve been through But it ain’t nothing compared to you So don’t look back on what you’ve gone and left behind You might get to missin’ these ol’ lovin’ arms of mine The clouds have parted I can finally see things clear I’ll be happy girl no matter what you hear. Baby,
