Just Gettin' By

Lately Ive been thinking, what it is I can do To get back on my feet once again Im wondering about tomorrow and where it is Ill be Cause somewhere there's a place that waits for me And I should have listened, to what my daddy said But you know me I do things differently But each step that I take forward puts me three steps behind, and Im getting good at just getting by Im getting good at just getting by Lately seems like every, single thing I do Turns out just the way I didn't want it too So how long can this go on, this hanging on by a thread Lord the things I need to do to get ahead Someday there'll be sunshine to chase the clouds away And dry up all the rain that falls today I'll keep looking for a good thing, that I can never find And Im getting good at just getting by Im getting good at just getting by
