Flatland Cavalry Gettin' By
[Verse 1]
Padre's cashing 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
[Chorus]
Ain't rollin' low or flyin' 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
[Verse 2]
If I knew then what I know now
What being a good man is all about
I'd have 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 gеt paid, mouths get fed
Got a good lovin' woman lying in my bed
[Chorus]
Ain't rollin' low or flyin' high
Somеwhere 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
[Bridge]
Raise a toast to the stars, can up to the sky
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh just gettin' by
