The Getting By

[Verse 1]

I can barely even sip this whiskey

But I know it's gonna help me when it hits me

You're a goodbye wrecking ball, I'm all in pieces

I can't quit losing weight and I ain't sleeping

[Chorus]

I'm getting through the bottles up on the shelf

Getting through the hung-up, going through hell

Getting to the light behind those curtains

Getting to the other side of this hurting

Getting drunk, getting stoned

Getting over you getting gone

Girl, it's killing me, but I'm

Getting used to getting through the gеtting by

[Verse 2]

Mama called me up, said she's been praying

Musta hеard what the folks 'round here have all been saying

I could find a brand new town, but I don't want to

'Cause I'm getting on down the road up on this barstool

[Chorus]

I'm getting through the bottles up on the shelf

Getting through the hung-up, going through hell

Getting to the light behind those curtains

Getting to the other side of this hurting

Getting drunk, getting stoned

Getting over you getting gone

Girl, it's killing me, but I'm

Getting used to getting through the getting by

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, the getting by

[Bridge]

Gonna drown this drowning pain

In a sea of neon smoke

If I can't save myself

Don't throw me a rope

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm getting through the bottles up on the shelf

Getting through the hung-up, going through hell

Getting to the light behind those curtains

Getting to the other side of this hurting

Getting drunk, getting stoned

Getting over you getting gone

Girl, it's killing me, but I'm

Getting used to getting through the getting by

[Outro]

Getting used to getting through the getting by
