Jelly Roll - Get By Lyrics



Jelly Roll - Get By Lyrics
Official




I light every bridge I see, yeah, just to watch it burn
If you'd seen all the hell I've seen, it'd make your stomach turn
I think you know
Why I do what I do when I do, mm
I could tell some stories 'bout some things you won't believe
It takes more than an album now to set this sinner free
I think you know
How I try when I try, Lord, I try

I might drink a little, I might smoke a lot
Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs to the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh, ooh)

Thousand miles of gravel, I've been walking with no shoes
No matter how far I come, I can't outrun my roots
I think you know
Why I do what I do when I do

I might drink a little, I might smoke a lot
Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs to the big man in the sky
Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh, ooh)

I might drink a little
That's how I get by
Counting down the good times
That's how I get by
Throw some hallelujahs
That's how I get by
Show up Sunday morning smellin' just like last night, ah

I might drink a little (might drink a little), I might smoke a lot
Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock
Throw some hallelujahs (hallelujahs) to the big man in the sky (big man)
Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh)
Lord, that's how I get by

Jelly Roll - Get By Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


In this song, Jelly Roll laments that no matter how hard he tries, he can't outrun his own sins of the past. Even success, such as writing a new Album, can't help him cast off his own sins. He keeps running and trying nonetheless. He finally concedes, "Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night
Yeah, that's how I get by (ooh)
Oh, that's how I get by (ooh)"
