Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"I Get By" lyrics


Woke up this morning
I got out of bed
Too late to go to work
Walked my dog instead

I don't try too hard
But I get by

You don't have to tell me
Got a lot to learn
Think I gonna last
At your own back and term

I don't try too hard
But I get by

Yes! Yes! Yes!

You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made yer
I don't want no fast car
Oh!Oh!Oh!

I'm never ready
Don't have to wait
Everybody know
I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard
But I get by

Hey! Lord!

You sit there with your fancy cigar
And you think I got it made yer
I don't want no fast car
Oh!Oh!Oh!

I'm never ready
Don't have to wait
Everybody know
I'm bound a get there late

I don't try too hard
But I get by
Woo!

I don't try too hard
Oh! Yer
