lyrics

we get by

we get by

i remember daniel father of my dad
gave his family everything a bullock driver had

seven kids a wife called rose dingoes at the door

a tent upon the forest floor out near amamour
 
they got by with pleasure and with pain
given half the chance do it over again
they got high on anything at hand
maybe hard but thats the beauty of the land
i remember rose the way that any grandkid might
that silver hair would burn the moon any given night
we kept her old piano where she showed us how to sing
grandma havent seen a smile so wide as when you played that thing
 
you got by with pleasure and with pain
given half a chance do it over again
you got high on fire and on ice
i would have you here i would not think twice
 
dad he was a preacher man some guys have it made
travelled every country town there and back again
never one for all the hype and ideology
just give a man a working answer thats enough for me
 
we got by with pleasure and with pain
given half a chance do it over again
we got high on faith in God above
maybe hard but thats the beauty of love
 
i became a minstrel a voice across the wire
a little bit of bullocky a litle bit of fire
a little bit of flavour even though its hard to get
dont ask me what is up ahead havent seen it yet
 
we get by with pleasure and with pain
given half a chance do it over again
we get high on anything we can
maybe hard but thats the beauty of the band
 
i get by on anything i can
maybe hard but thats the beauty of the man
