I get no sleep with the weight on my mind
I'm losing my innocence as the time
Goes by, goes by, oh no
I quit my job and I turned in my key
And rode on the coattails to Tennessee
To get by, get by

But all hope ain't gone
All hope ain't gone, oh no
I'm right where I belong

'Cause this was not my decision
I've been bound by the vision
That brought me here and bares by name
Whether timeless or tragic
Just give me the magic I need

I don't know much but I learn what I can
My wide eyes taught me to be a man
To get by, get by, oh no
And my old man, I won't do you know shame
If I've got problems I'll take the blame
To get by, get by

But all hope ain't gone
All hope ain't gone, oh no
I'm right where I belong

'Cause this was not my decision
I've been bound by the vision
That brought me here and bares by name
Whether timeless or tragic
Just give me the magic I need

There ain't nothing out there I'm owed
I know I know I know
There ain't nothing out there I'm owed
I know I know I know
