Stealers Wheel I Get By song lyrics

(Egan)

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.
