Lyrics
I'm up and gone when the sun comes up
Showered, shaved, and in my truck
Headed out to a job I really need
Come Friday evening I'm dragging ass
Paycheck's hurting from the price of gas
With plenty of bills to pay and mouths to feed
Getting by but I ain't getting ahead
Staying afloat, hanging by a thread
Stuck in the middle of the middle class
Going nowhere busting my ass
Pushing like hell just to move on through
Busted knuckles and a sweaty blue collar
Wasting my life chasing that dollar
Yeah yeah yeah
Just getting by
Life ain't bad, but it ain't untroubled
Feels like the price of everything's doubled
And a dollar don't seem to stretch as far
And I don't care about placing blame
But working for scraps is a crying shame
Putting 60 plus hours to just break even
Getting by but I ain't getting ahead
Staying afloat, but hanging by a thread
Stuck in the middle of the middle class
Going nowhere busting my ass
Pushing like hell just to move on through
Busted knuckles and a sweaty blue collar
Wasting my life chasing that dollar
Yeah yeah yeah
Just getting by
Yeah yeah yeah
Just getting by
Yeah yeah yeah
just getting by
Stuck in the middle of the middle class
Going nowhere busting my ass
Pushing like hell just to move on through
Busted knuckles and a sweaty blue collar
Wasting my life chasing that dollar
Yeah yeah yeah
Just getting by
