These Days
I woke up this morning aching with pain
Donâ€Ââ"¢t think I can work, but Iâ€Ââ"¢ll try
The carâ€Ââ"¢s in the shop so I thumbed all the way
Oh these days I barely get by I walked home from work and it rained all the way
My wife left and didnâ€Ââ"¢t say why
She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
Oh these days I barely get by Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
He lost by a nose and I cried
Oh, my boss says come winter weâ€Ââ"¢ll all be laid off
Oh these days I barely get by These days I barely get by I want to give up, lay down and die
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
Oh these days I barely get by Oh these days, one barely gets by
