7/16/2004 alternate lyrics
Oh said the man
sittin' at the bar
lookin' rough to the man next to him
Saying, "Brother could you spare a dime?
Do you have the time?
Maybe you could buy me a drink
Things ain't rollin' so well..."
"Oh, get out my face"
you know that's what he said
and he turned his back on the boy, little soul
But don't you know the table could be turned
and he could be the one
standing there beggin' for work
Oh, she's been looking for a long, long time
but time ain't on her side, I guess
Oh it's not like the world don't care
like the sun just gonna breathe her in
Crazy
just trying to get by
sometimes she feel crazy
just trying to make it by
Oh, look at that boy, bruises on his arms
wonderin' what story he's going...
Does nobody see this?
Maybe everybody's got it rough...
everybody's got it tough...
But why do I feel like the world's dancing on me?
Said no can't be long, but I almost lost the wind
I almost lost the hope in me
to say "hey, it's been a long, long time"
and I'm about to lose my mind
Crazy
just trying to get by
sometimes the world seems crazy
I only wanna get by
Oh sits the stool some other day
I took it back
And I'm gonna start
and one time she thinks it was easy
and like breezin' through the world
was just all I wanted to do
but so no, now it's more like my feet is locked down
like my eyes are blind
and I just can't see the light
Hey, I reach for hope
and come up with nothin' but sand in my hands
And beggin' in the words you said
I'm just trying to get by
said
just trying to get by
Oh the world's gone crazy
Just trying to get by
Oh the world's so crazy
Oh let me get by
I stumble, it's not easy, yeah, yeah
love, trying to get by
trying to fly, no...
It's not easy, yeah, yeah
Just trying to make it
It ain't so far
It ain't so far
It ain't so far between you and me
Long, long, long time
As we sail, as we sail
Too long, too long, too long time
As we get by
It ain't so far
It ain't so far
Between you and me
It ain't so far
It ain't so far
It ain't so far between you and me
It ain't so far
It ain't so far
It ain't so far between you and me, baby
It ain't so far
It ain't so far between you and me, no
So far
It ain't so far between you and me
I want to buy you a drink
If I could, girl, I probably would
Please, please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
