I'll Get By

I'll Get By - The Wealthy West

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

I'll get by oh I'll get by

I'll get by oh I'll get by

I'll get by oh I'll get by
