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
