Johnathan East Gettin' By Alright
Came in last night about a half past three
No one was waitin’ up and there to love on me
I sat down on the couch and I turned the t.v. on
Watched Andy Griffith and I cried ‘til the break of
dawn.
(Chorus)
I’m gettin’ by alright, I’m doin’ well
Things are lookin’ up, as far as I can tell
I’ve had some hard knocks, but I got back up
I’m gettin’ by alright, yeah girl I’m hangin’ tough.
My friends all warned me, boy you’re gonna wind up dead
The boss man wonders just what’s running through my
head
But I don’t mind what all the people got to say
Still got this old guitar to chase my blues away.
And honey.
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ve felt the bad end of a love that’s fell apart
Seen the ruin of so many broken hearts
God only knows all the destruction I’ve been through
But it ain’t nothing compared to you
So don’t look back on what you’ve gone and left behind
You might get to missin’ these ol’ lovin’ arms of mine
The clouds have parted I can finally see things clear
I’ll be happy girl no matter what you hear.
Baby,
(Repeat Chorus)
I’m gettin’ by alright, girl I’m hangin’ tough.
