Lyrics I Get By - Stealers Wheel

I Get By

Woke up this morning, I got out of bed
Too late to go to work — walked my dog instead
I don’t try too hard, but I get by
You don’t have to tell me I’ve got a lot to learn
Think I gotta laugh at your overconcern
I don’t try too hard, but I get by
You sit there with your fancy cigar and you think, «I got it made»
I don’t want no fast car, whoa no
I’m never ready, don’t have to wait
Everybody knows I’m bound to get there late
I don’t try too hard, but I get by
You sit there with your fancy cigar and you think, «I got it made»
I don’t want no fast car, whoa no
I’m never ready, don’t have to wait
Everybody knows I’m bound to get there late
I don’t try too hard, but I get by.
