Jackie Greene Gettin' By lyrics

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 shadows 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
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
But time makes you colder and farther away
And farther and farther you go

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
