High On Gettin' By
I been stranded on the plains, livin' life estranged From everyone who knew me back in my travelin' days I used to play the jester but I let go of the scepter along the way Like a bird caught in a store I been searchin' for the door But there ain't no clear direction when you ain't needed anymore In my dreams I shot the dealer, could I make it any clearer what I'm for? Well I been drunk on the ideas of my future And I been high on gettin' by, on gettin' by Well I tried to change my luck, ah, but luck don't give a damn Watchin' everything I'd worked for just slip right through my hands Ain't no rhyme for the reason, no consequence for treason in this land But I refuse to go out losin', I ain't nobody's fool You can tell me that it's rainin' while you dig your swimmin' pools But I'll be diggin' ditches while the man is flippin' switches on the dial Well I been drunk on the ideas of my future And I been high on gettin' by, on gettin' by I got my first child on the way and the bills are all unpaid I should have finished high school, got a job and learned to save But the words they keep on fallin' and the highway keeps on callin' to my pen If I could make myself a deal then I might not have to steal Ah, but something's bound to break with all the spinnin' of the wheels Well I came here for the music, but I can't afford to lose it after all Letras de canciones Well I been drunk on the ideas of my future And I been high on gettin' by, on gettin' by Well I been drunk on the ideas of my future And I been high on gettin' by, on gettin' by From Letras Mania
