Songtext Get by Jelly Roll

Get by

I light every bridge I see, yeah, just to watch it burn
If you'd seen all the hell I've seen, it'd make your stomach turn
I think you know why I do what I do, when I do, mmm
I could tell some stories 'bout some things you won't believe
It takes more than an offer now to set this sinner free
I think you know how I try when I try, Lord, I try

I might drink a little
I might smoke a lot
Counting down the good times
Staring down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs
To the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning
Looking just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by
Oh, that's how I get by

Thousand miles of gravel, I've been walking with no shoes
No matter how far I come, I can't outrun my roots
I think you know why I do what I do, when I do

I might drink a little
I might smoke a lot
Counting down the good times
Staring down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs
To the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning
Looking just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by
Oh, that's how I get by

I might drink a little
That's how I get by
Counting down the good times
That's how I get by
Throw some hallelujahs
That's how I get by
Show up Sunday morning
Smelling just like last night

I might drink a little
I might smoke a lot
Counting down the good times
Staring down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs
To the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning
Looking just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by
Oh, that's how I get by
Lord, that's how I get by
