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 And he gets by And he gets by We all get by By the grace of God we all get by [Instrumental bridge] 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
