Gettin' By

Padre's cashin' in that overtime

Charcoal grill, Friday night

Styrofoam cooler stocked cold and light

Just gettin' by

Watch his young ones run 'round the yard

On the tail end of a week worked hard

Raise a toast to the stars

And a can up to the sky

Ain't rollin' low or flying high

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Been in-between most all my life

All I ever wanted sittin' by my side

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

If I knew then what I know now

What being a good man is all about

I'd a told him I was proud

Just gettin' by

Now we don't hurt for money, ain't short on love

Ain't got it all but we got enough

Bills get paid, mouths get fed

Got a good lovin' woman laying in my bed

Ain't rollin' low or flying high

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Been in-between most all my life

All I ever wanted layin' by my side

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Raise a toast to the stars

Can up to the sky

Just waitin' on the by and by

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Been in-between most all my life

All I ever wanted standin' by my side

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Oh, just gettin' by
