Gettin’ By Songtext
von Steve Earle & the Dukes

Hi Buckaroos, Steve Earle again
Tryin′ my best to be Jerry Jeff Walker once more
Don't ask me how I did it, just did it like I knew it
Hey, been down this road once or twice before

Just getting by on getting by, it′s my stock-in-trade
Livin' it day to day, yeah
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just livin' my life, easy come, easy go

Just last week I was thinking, oh, it′s record time again
I can see Danny Goldberg pacing the floor
Oh Danny, don′t you worry, something's bound to come out
We′ve been down this road once or twice before


Just getting by on getting by, it's my stock-in-trade
Livin′ it day to day, yeah
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go

Income tax is overdue, what else is new?
Been busted, I don't wanna get busted no more
I′ll catch it all later, something bound to come out
I've been down this road once or twice before, yeah

Just getting by on getting by, it's my stock-in-trade
Livin′ it day to day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just lettin′ it roll, lettin' the high times carry the low
Just living my life, easy come, easy go

Just getting by on getting by, it′s my stock-in-trade
Livin' it day to day
Just picking up the pieces wherever they fall
Just letting it roll, letting the high times carry the low
Just livin′ my life, easy come, easy go
Yeah, I'm just livin′ my life, easy come, easy go
