Gettin' By Lyrics

Artist: Jerry Jeff Walker
Album: Great Gonzos

Hi, buckaroos, Scamp Walker time again.
Gonna try to slide one by once more.
Don't matter how ya do it.
Just do it like you know what your doing
Besides, we been down this road one before...

Chorus:
Just gettin' by on gettin' by's my stock and trade
Livin' it day to day
Pickin' up the pieces where ever they fall
Just lettin' it roll lettin' the high times carry the load
I'm livin' my life easy come easy go.

Income tax overdue.
I think she is too.
Been busted, I'll probably get busted somemore.
But I'll catch it all later.
Can't let it stop me now,
Besides, I've been down this road once before...

Last week i was thinkin,
It's record time again,
And I can see Ol' Steve Boy pacing the floor.
Oh, Steve, don't ya worry.
Something's bound to come out,
Besides, we been down this road once before...

That isn't the whole song, like 4 verses are missing.
