"I'm Gettin High" lyrics

Some ladies like gold and diamonds
And my sweet thing she's 5 and dime'n
And even though we ain't thrivin'
We're just happy to be survivin'

And I'm, I'm getting high
Oh yes and I'm, I'm getting by
And yes I, I'm getting high

Song writers they got stories to tell
About how their lives have been a living hell
I'm writing this song up here in this jail
Cause I ain't got no money for to make my bail
The lawman says that I gotta pay
So I'mma sit it out for about two or three days
I got a girl that I keep on the side
And come early morning she'll be my ride

And I'm, I'm getting high
Oh yes and I'm, I'm getting by
And yes I, I'm getting high

So my friends I'm a lot like you
I ain't got no money and my rents past due
Still I'm drinkin' that cold mountain dew
Smoking that stuff that my brother grew
When your life is all music and rhymes
It sure helps you make it through those rough times
And even though I'm down on my luck
And the repo man just drove off my with my truck

And I'm, I'm getting high
Oh yes and I'm, I'm getting by
And yes I, I'm getting high
Oh yes and I'm, I'm getting by
And yes and I, I'm getting high
