To Get By

Washin' up them dirty ol' dishes
mama's good china washed away in the flood
ev'ry drop o' my common sense
never was good enough

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

i scribbled down some grocery list
the kind on the frigidaire
rice's grocery down on main street
we got credit there

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

too young to buy cigarettes
so i stole em for a friend o' mine
he dont breathe too good these days
but aint givin' up tryin'

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

chorus
the power of youth runs by and by
stuck in a revolvin' door
some high falutin' trick in my mind
always cries out for more

to get by to get by

dem bells and whistles they talk money
for the suits and ties in the cubicles
oldtime mem'ries soon forgotten
we use to jus' make do

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

egyptians mummified their dead
the roman empire flourished
all them after life possessions
makes me old and foolish

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

chorus

to get by to get by

now

a dollar burns a hole in my pocket
from the magazines o' the american dream
the grass is always greener
on my neighbor's property

to get by to get by
to get by lord to get by

chorus
to get by to get by

chorus
to get by to get by.
