[Verse 1]

I light every bridge I see, yeah, just to watch it burn

If you'd seen all the hell I've seen, it'd make your stomach turn

I think you know

Why I do what I do when I do, mm

I could tell some stories 'bout some things you won't believe

It takes more than an altar now to set this sinner free

I think you know

How I try when I try, Lord, I try

[Chorus]

I might drink a little, I might smoke a lot

Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock

Throw some hallelujahs to the big man in the sky

Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night

Yeah, that's how I get by (Ooh)

Oh, that's how I get by (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]

Thousand miles of gravel, I've been walking with no shoes

No matter how far I come, I can't outrun my roots

I think you know

Why I do what I do when I do

[Chorus]

I might drink a little, I might smokе a lot

Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock

Throw somе hallelujahs to the big man in the sky

Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night

Yeah, that's how I get by (Ooh)

Oh, that's how I get by (Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]

I might drink a little

That's how I get by

Counting down the good times

That's how I get by

Throw some hallelujahs

That's how I get by

Show up Sunday morning smellin' just like last night, ah

[Chorus]

I might drink a little (Might drink a little), I might smoke a lot

Countin' down the good times, starin' down the clock

Throw some hallelujahs (Hallelujahs) to the big man in the sky (Big man)

Show up Sunday morning, lookin' just like last night

Yeah, that's how I get by (Ooh)

Oh, that's how I get by (Ooh)

Lord, that's how I get by
