Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm cruisin' down Main Street in an '87 Chevrolet
I'm rollin' down 174 tryin' to find some more
Wish I had a little money, I'd spend it all on you
I'd buy us a quarter bag and twelve pack of brew
[Verse 2]
And we'll get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin' not to think
And I get stoned, and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin' to change my luck
Just gettin' by
Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
[Verse 3]
Walkin' down Browns mountain tryin' to find my way around
I hope I don't get stopped by the cops in this here town
Head on to the south side and the cemetery trails
A worn out fishin' hole where I raised a lot of hell
[Verse 4]
And we'll get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin' not to think
And I get stoned, and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin' to change my luck
Just gettin' by
Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
[Verse 5]
There's a girl, that lives on my street
Strawberry blonde, she tastes so sweet
I wanna tell her, all the words in my heart
She moved away, then she tore my world apart
[Verse 6]
And we'll get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin' not to think
And I get stoned, and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin' to change my luck
Just gettin' by
Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
[Verse 7]
Fifteen minutes south of the Fort Worth city lights
We watched football games here on Friday nights
I grew up slow and now I'm livin' so fast
Running out of liquor and this quarter bag won't last
[Verse 8]
'Cause I get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin' not to think
And I get stoned, and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin' to change my luck
Just gettin' by
Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
[Verse 9]
And we'll get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin' not to think
And I get stoned, and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin' to change my luck
Just gettin' by
Well I'm a-gettin' by, gettin' high, yeah
