"ain't we all just getting by" lyrics

I had a dream last night
It was 1969
I woke up thinkin', I wish I could have stayed behind
Today there's always a scam
They'll sell you air in a can
But when it comes to truth, they don't really give a damn!
With that said, what can you do?
Well I just lace up my shoes
And find some trouble that's, ha-ha, worth gettin' in to!

Get me a coffee
'Cause I can't stop this
Wagon wheel
Pass me a hammer
I'll fix it how I
Damn well feel

This shit is real!
Save time, chase money, get by
Now that's a deal
Waste time, spend money, get high
That's how I feel!
Save time, chase money, get by
Go spin the wheel!
Getting by, getting by
Ain't we all just getting by?
Ain't we all just getting by?

Put on the evening news
It was just so fuckin' blue
So I changed to Elvis Tunes, ya, then Scooby Doo!
Everyone's a talkin' piece
With armchair philosophies
Ya, you'd think that they were Socrates
I feel a bit fed up
10 miles ain't nothin' much
Put on my shoes, ya, stir it up!

Get me a coffee
'Cause I can't stop this
Wagon wheel
Pass me a hammer
I'll fix it how I
Damn well feel

This shit is real!
Save time, chase money, get by
Now that's a deal
Waste time, spend money, get high
That's how I feel!
Save time, chase money, get by
Go spin the wheel!
Getting by, getting by
Ain't we all just getting by?
Ain't we all just getting by?
Ain't we all just getting by?
Ain't we all just getting by?

With all the madness of the moment
I just wanna get sky high
With all the madness of the moment
You can laugh or you can cry
Either way, you're on the ride
Until you... die!

Getting by, getting by
Ain't we all just getting by?
Getting by, getting by
Ain't we all just getting by?
