Låttexter: Jackie Greene. Gettin' By.

The game must be loaded, cause I never win
these things never did treat me good.
but keep the fire warm, dear and I?ll see you again
Lord knows that someday I should

it?s a strange old feeling, these passing lane blues
but it?s nothing I ain?t never felt before.
you nailed down my conscience and you forced me to choose
and my soul I let slip through your door

and I?ll be doing just fine, oh fine
no matter how hard I don?t try
and if it?s raining on the fourth of July
I believe I?ll be gettin? by

the cheaper the ride, the cheaper the thrill
you can?t trust the shadow through the curtain.
but if I took you for granted, would you send me the bill?
there?s one thing that I know for certain..

all I?ve got is this time on my hands
and time, oh time it?s a breakin?
just one lost memory and the price you demand
yes I loved you but I could have been mistaken

and I?ll be doing just fine, oh fine
no matter how hard I don?t try
and if it?s raining on the fourth of July
I believe I?ll be gettin? by

time makes you older (or that?s what they say)
I come to find out it ain?t so.
time makes you colder and farther away
and farther and farther you go...
