I'm cruisin' down Main Street in an '87 Chevrolet

I'm rollin' down 174 tryin' to find some more

Wish I had a little money, I'd spend it all on you

I'd buy us a quarter bag and twelve pack of brew

And we'll get high, and I drink

Well I'm tryin' not to think

And I get stoned, and I'm drunk

Well I'm tryin' to change my luck

Just gettin' by

Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah

Walkin' down Browns mountain tryin' to find my way around

I hope I don't get stopped by the cops in this here town

Head on to the south side and the cemetery trails

A worn out fishin' hole where I raised a lot of hell

And we'll get high, and I drink

Well I'm tryin' not to think

And I get stoned, and I'm drunk

Well I'm tryin' to change my luck

Just gettin' by

Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah

There's a girl, that lives on my street

Strawberry blonde, she tastes so sweet

I wanna tell her, all the words in my heart

She moved away, then she tore my world apart

And we'll get high, and I drink

Well I'm tryin' not to think

And I get stoned, and I'm drunk

Well I'm tryin' to change my luck

Just gettin' by

Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah

Fifteen minutes south of the Fort Worth city lights

We watched football games here on Friday nights

I grew up slow and now I'm livin' so fast

Running out of liquor and this quarter bag won't last

'Cause I get high, and I drink

Well I'm tryin' not to think

And I get stoned, and I'm drunk

Well I'm tryin' to change my luck

Just gettin' by

Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah

And we'll get high, and I drink

Well I'm tryin' not to think

And I get stoned, and I'm drunk

Well I'm tryin' to change my luck

Just gettin' by

Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
