We Get By

Stayin' burnt out all the time

Well, that's a good way for you to lose your mind

Stayin' low for too damn long

Well, that's enough to wanna get high

I'm not saying what's right or wrong

Some folks need a little help getting along

I can't judge, Lord, I've been stoned

But I know Jesus knows

And I get by

And I get by

We all get by

By the grace of God, we all get by

Yeah, my momma introduced me to God as a child

You know my dad, he does his livin' a little less mild

He'd rather sing those gospel songs

On the front porch anyway

My baby sister, she married a man

On the other side of where dad and I land

We laugh and joke and give him hell

But he loves that little girl

And they get by

And they get by

We all get by

By the grace of God, we all get by

And everybody's waiting on that day when all is right

And we've still got each other to make it through another night

Everybody's waiting on that time when all is right

We still got each other to make it through another night

This corner bar is not a house of sin

It's a place where all of us fit in

I've seen the same faces Saturday night

As I have on Sunday morning

And Brother John's there sipping his drink

You know he don't care what the others might think

He laughs and jokes and finds it funny

That the others all drink alone at home

He gets by

And he gets by

We all get by

By the grace of God, we all get by

Stayin' burnt out all the time

Well, that's a good way for you to lose your mind

Stayin' low for too damn long

Well, that's enough to wanna get high
