Turn our pockets inside out
Day to day, hand to mouth
We may have to go down and play
The corner of the street with an open guitar case
Change will come if we make good
With the tourists down on Hollywood and Vine
We'll get by, we'll get by
Even if the money's getting tight, we'll get by
This town will surely spit us out
Unless our luck turns around
If it doesn't we'll move to the countryside
Get a cabin, live the simple life
We'll wake up to the rooster's crow
Sittin on the porch, we could take it slow
We'll get by, we'll get by
Say we gave it our best try, we'll get by
Try our best to stay in love
Hold on to each other it'll be enough
To get by, to get by
We'll get by, we'll get by
We'll get by, we'll get by
We'll get by by by
We'll get by by by
