Just Enough To Get By

Peter Frothingham

This row I'm hoeing is deep and wide

Someday I'm gonna make it to the other side

The boss man complains he says it's never enough

I'm just trying to get the days' work done

Seems like we're spending a dollar

Trying to save a dime

We're living on love and working on overtime

The cost of living's too much

I can't afford to die

But I always got just enough

Just enough to get by

Staring at the headlights on the highway last night

I thought I saw a preacher in a broken taillight

He said my son gonna take you to the promised land

But first you got to have a silver coin in your hand

We're always spending a dollar

Trying to save a dime

We're living on love and working on overtime
