lyrics

I’ve been waiting on the devil
To come up and take my soul away
And I’ve been lighting all the candles
And bowing my head to pray
And all the roses I see around me
I know they’re in bloom
But they’re still looking gray

And I know, not every street is paved in gold
But even though I walk most of them alone
I’ll get by

I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by
I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by

On my own now, I’m heading Northbound
And I’ve been trying to make it for a while
I need a road map, or a compass
Because I can’t tell what’s yours and what is mine
Oh I believe that one day angels
Will come pick me up and take me for a ride

And I know, not every street is paved in gold
But even though I walk most of them alone
I’ll get by

I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by
I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by

Lean in close, lean in close
I’m not the one you should listen to
I just write songs for you to sing along
But, I’m not trying to tell you any truths

And if I were, I’d say not every street is gold
But who am I? Just a songwriter trying to get by
And I get by

I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by
I’ll get by, Oh, I’ll get by
