I get no sleep with the weight on my mind I'm losing my innocence as the time Goes by, goes by, oh no I quit my job and I turned in my key And rode on the coattails to Tennessee To get by, get by But all hope ain't gone All hope ain't gone, oh no I'm right where I belong 'Cause this was not my decision I've been bound by the vision That brought me here and bares by name Whether timeless or tragic Just give me the magic I need I don't know much but I learn what I can My wide eyes taught me to be a man To get by, get by, oh no And my old man, I won't do you know shame If I've got problems I'll take the blame To get by, get by But all hope ain't gone All hope ain't gone, oh no I'm right where I belong 'Cause this was not my decision I've been bound by the vision That brought me here and bares by name Whether timeless or tragic Just give me the magic I need There ain't nothing out there I'm owed I know I know I know There ain't nothing out there I'm owed I know I know I know
