Like a can on the porch, I’ve been standing all alone 
And I’m set with my torts real high 
And I feel in my heart that I’m almost at the end 
And I hope in my heart I’ll get by 
Maybe I never see how this feeling came to be 
It’s been so long since she said good bye 
I’mma pick her cell phone then we walking at the door 
But I know even then I’ll get by 
And I’ll get by through the wind and rain 
I’ll get by and I try ‘til my love returns 
I get by, by, 	
Well the truth it been told 
It’s been hard to survive 
And knew you screw on just t die 
But there this feeling in my heart, must be keeping me alive 
 Must be this feeling in inside that gets me by 
And I’ll get by so my fate get learn to get by 
 I’ll get by and I try ‘til my love returns 
I get by, 
Well she was just 17, if you know what I mean 
She was caught of a sea, go to ride 
But I know that someday I will see her face again 
I have hope and that’s the way I’ll get by 
I’ll get by hanging on to live 
I’lll get by 
by and I try ‘til our love begin  
I get by,  	
And I’ll get by through the wind and rain 
I’ll get by and I try ‘til our love begin 
I get by baby
