Gettin' By - Jerry Jeff Walker
Okay buckaroos--, Here we go again
Gonna Try and slide one by you once more
Don't matter how you do it
Gonna do it like we know what we're doing
Like we been down that road
Once or twice before
[Chorus]
Just gettin' by on gettin' by
Is my stock in trade
Living it day to day
Pickin' up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll,
Letting the high times carry the low
And I'm living my life
Easy come, easy go
Seems like only yesterday
We rolled into this town
A band of pickers
Nobody ever heard before
Now we're all sportin' beer bellies
We got some glasses
And a bunch of grey hair
We been down this road
Once or twice before
Chorus twice
Well, the old dancehall's still standing
Though it needs some repairs
A lot of cowboy boots
Have slide over these floors
Well, I ain't no spring chicken, either-
My dance card's sure been punched
And'Ive been down this road
Once or twice before
Chorus
