I don't know why we have to die

I don't know a thing about this life

I know the punishment don't always fit the crime



But

I will get by

I will get by



I know this drinkin's gonna take me down

I feel the sin inside my body now

Oh mercy mercy forgive my lack of will



Oh I....

I'm just trying to get by

I'm just trying to get by



Don't want to go to hell

Can't hardly stand myself

I'm like a weed at the side of the road

Nothing but filthy air

gotta get out of here

I'm like a weed and you know how hard they can be to kill

but you can't kill me

No No No you can't kill me



I don't know why a broken heart

can hurt you more than having your hand cut off

I've come to save you but you're already gone



Oh I, I will get by

I will get by

hey hey hey

I will get by

I will get by

hey hey hey

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by

I will get by



get by get by

get by get by

get by get by

get by



I will get by
