vincent neil emerson - high on gettin' by lyrics

[verse 1]
i been stranded on the plains, livin’ life estranged
from everyone who knew me back in my travellin’ days
i used to play the jester but i let go of the sceptre along the way
like a bird caught in a store i been searchin’ for the door
but there ain’t no clear direction when you ain’t needed anymore
in my dreams i shot the dealer, could i make it any clearer
what i’m for?

[chorus]
well i been drunk on the ideas of my future
and i been high on gettin’ by on gettin’ by

[verse 2]
well i tried to change my luck, ah but luck don’t give a darn
watchin’ everything i’d worked for just slip right through my hands
ain’t no rhyme for the reason, no consequence for treason in this land
but i refuse to go out losin’, i ain’t n0body’s fool
you can tell me that it’s rainin’ while you dig your swimmin’ pools
but i’ll be diggin’ ditches while the man is flippin’ switches on dial

[chorus]
well i been drunk on the ideas of my future
and i been high on gettin’ by on gettin’ by

[verse 3]
i got my first child on the way and the bills are all unpaid
i should have finished high school, got a job and learned to save
but the words they keep on fallin’ and the highway keeps on callin’ to my pen
if i could make myself a deal then i might not have to steal
ah but something’s bound to break with all the spinnin’ of the wheels
well i came here for the music, but i can’t afford to lose it after all
[chorus]
well i been drunk on the ideas of my future
and i been high on gettin’ by on gettin’ by

[chorus]
well i been drunk on the ideas of my future
and i been high on gettin’ by on gettin’ by
