lyrics

Stayin' burnt out all the time
Well that's a good way for you to lose your mind
Stayin' low for too damn long
Well, that's enough to wanna get high
I'm not saying what's right or wrong
Some folks need a little help getting along
I can't judge, Lord, I've been stoned
But I know Jesus knows

And I get by
And I get by
We all get by
By the grace of God we all get by

Yeah, my momma introduced me to God as a child
You know my dad, he does his livin' a little less mild
He'd rather sing those gospel songs on the front porch anyway
My baby sister, she married a man
On the other side of where dad and I land
We laugh and joke and give him hell
But he loves that little girl

And they get by
And they get by
We all get by
By the grace of God we all get by

And everybody's waiting on that day when all is right
And we've still got each other
To make it through another night
Everybody's waiting on that time when all is right
We still got each other
To make it through another night

This corner bar is not a house of sin
It's a place where all of us fit in
I've seen the same faces Saturday night
As I have on Sunday morning
And Bother John's there sipping his drink
You know he don't care what the others might think
He laughs and joke and finds it funny
That the others all drink alone at home

He gets by
And he gets by
We all get by
By the grace of God we all get by

Stayin' burnt out all the time
Well, that's a good way for you to lose your mind
Stayin' low for too damn long
Well that's enough to wanna get high
