LYRIC FOR SALE

By DANNY VALE

JUST GETTIN BY

I meet friends they ask, ‘How you doin?’
I tell them, ‘Just gettin by’
they all know that you an I parted
so they nod and understand why

Some of the ladies they hug me
guys don’t know how to try
it’s hard to make conversation
when your soul it just wants to cry

When your soul wants to cry
when your soul wants to cry
livin a life that’s so empty
first time I’ve wanted to die

I pass all the places in town
places we used to go
so many scenes that still haunt me
too many people I know

They’d all be askin the same question
if I go in on my own
I can’t face havin to tell them
you’ve left and I’m here all alone

When your soul wants to cry
when your soul wants to cry
livin a life that’s so empty
first time I’ve wanted to die

They say that time’s the great healer
but I don’t think it’s workin for me
it’s been over three months since we parted
I’m still down as far as can be

A friend said I’d meet someone else soon
just gotta get out the door
said I can’t stay single forever
but I don’t get around much no more

When your soul wants to cry
when your soul wants to cry
livin a life that’s so empty
first time I’ve wanted to die

Drivin my car home from work
saw you last nite just by chance
you looked the way I first saw you
when we started that magic romance

Pulled over an made a decision
to ask could we give it a go
then your new man strolled up an he kissed you
arm in arm you went into a show

So I’m leavin my home town tomorrow
leavin the places I know
my heart won’t let go of our mem’ries
but my head tells me it’s time to go

When your soul wants to cry
when your soul wants to cry
livin a life that’s so empty
it’s time I stopped wantin to die
