You Always Get By - Ray Price
I get so doggone tired
Of hearing you laugh
But when I start to get
Mad you begin to cry
You shed your tears
So that you can win out
You turn'em on
Like a water spout
And get by
Well baby you always get by
No one can tell you nothing
That you don't already know
You got a gravy train to ride on
But you say it runs to slow
You get a big surprise
When I get enough
Cause I travel fast
When the going's rough
My hopes are high
And the chips are down
You cry my play
House to the ground
And get by well baby
You always get by
Every time we quarrel
You get the crying look
You must hold an onion
In your pocketbook
You just stand
There like a teacher's pet
And get every thing
Around you ringing wet
And get by well baby
You always get by
You get away with murder
With a sad looking face
And if I put my foot down
There'd be teardrops
So all over the place
I wish you wouldn't try
To make a fool of me
It ain't doing
So well with my dignity
Just when I get the nerve
To speak my mind
Them tears start running
Up and down the spine
You get by well baby
You always get by
