Padre's cashin' in that overtime
Charcoal grill, Friday night
Styrofoam cooler stocked cold and light
Just gettin' by
Watch his young ones run 'round the yard
On the tail end of a week worked hard
Raise a toast to the stars
And a can up to the sky
Ain't rollin' low or flying high
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted sittin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
If I knew then what I know now
What being a good man is all about
I'd a told him I was proud
Just gettin' by
Now we don't hurt for money, ain't short on love
Ain't got it all but we got enough
Bills get paid, mouths gеt fed
Got a good lovin' woman laying in my bed
Ain't rollin' low or flying high
Somewhеre in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted layin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Raise a toast to the stars
Can up to the sky
Just waitin' on the by and by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted standin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Oh, just gettin' by
