Gettin' By

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

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

If I knew then what I know now

What being a good man is all about

I would've 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 lying in my bed

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 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
