Kishore Kumar Hits — Vincent Neil Emerson - High on Gettin' By - Luck Mansion Sessions lyrics

Artist: Vincent Neil Emerson

album: Live at Luck Mansion

I been stranded on the plains
Living life estranged
From everyone who knew me
Back in my travelin' days
I used to play the jester
But I let go of the scepter
Along the way
Like a bird caught in a store
I been searchin for the door
But there ain't no clear direction
When you ain't needed anymore
In my dreams I shot the dealer
Could I make it any clearer
What I'm for?
Well I been drunk
On the ideas of my future
And I been high
On gettin' by
On gettin' by
Well I try to change my luck
Aww but luck don't give a damn
Watching everything I'd worked for
Just slip right through my hands
Ain't no rhyme for the reason
No consequence for treason
In this land
But I refuse to go out losin'
No I ain't nobody's fool
You can tell me that it's rainin'
While you dig your swimmin' pools
Aww but I'll be diggin' ditches
While the man is flippin' switches
On the dam
Well I been drunk
On the ideas of my future
And I been high
On gettin' by
On gettin' by
I got my first child on the way
And the bills are all unpaid
I should have finished high school
Got a job and learned to save
But the words keeps on fallin'
And the highway keeps on callin'
To my pen
If I could make myself a deal
Then I might not have to steal
Aww but something's bound to break
With all the spinnin' of the wheels
Well I came here for the music
And I can't afford to lose it after all
Well I been drunk
On the ideas of my future
And I been high
On gettin' by
On gettin' by
