Gettin' By

The game must be loaded, cause i never win

These things never did treat me good.

But keep the fire warm, dear and i'll see you again

Lord knows that someday i should

It's a strange old feeling, these passing lane blues

But it's nothing i ain't never felt before.

You nailed down my conscience and you forced me to choose

And my soul i let slip through your door

And i'll be doing just fine, oh fine

No matter how hard i don't try

And if it's raining on the fourth of july

I believe i'll be gettin' by

The cheaper the ride, the cheaper the thrill

You can't trust the shadow through the curtain.

But if i took you for granted, would you send me the bill?

There's one thing that i know for certain..

All i've got is this time on my hands

And time, oh time it's a breakin'

Just one lost memory and the price you demand

Yes i loved you but i could have been mistaken

And i'll be doing just fine, oh fine

No matter how hard i don't try

And if it's raining on the fourth of july

I believe i'll be gettin' by

Time makes you older (or that's what they say)

I come to find out it ain't so.

Time makes you colder and farther away

And farther and farther you go
