I don't know why we have to die
I don't know a thing about this life
I know the punishment don't always fit the crimeBut, I will get by
I will get byI know this drinkin's gonna take me down
I feel the sin inside my body now
Oh, mercy, mercy forgive my lack of willOh I, I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by, yeah, hey, heyDon't want to go to hell
Can't hardly stand myself
I'm like a weed at the side of the roadNothing but filthy air gotta get out of here
I'm like a weed and you know
How hard they can be to killBut you can't kill me
No, no, no you can't kill meI don't know why a broken heart
Can hurt you more than having your hand cut off
I've come to save you but you're already goneOh I, I will get by
I will get by hey, hey, hey
I will get by
I will get by, hey, hey, heyI will get by, I will get by
I will get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by
Get by, get by, get byI will get by
