[Verse 1]
    G                    D
Padre's cashing in that overtime
    Em              C
Charcoal grill, Friday night
     G                     D
Styrofoam cooler stocked cold and light
  Em           C
Just gettin' by
  G                       D
Watch his young ones run round the yard
  Em                  C
On the tail end of a week worked hard
  G            D                 C
Raise a toast to the stars and a can up to the sky
 
 
[Chorus]
        G               D
Ain't rollin' low or flyin' high
     Em                       C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
  G                    D
Been in between most all my life
  Em                  C
All I ever wanted sittin' by my side
   C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
 
G D Em C  
(x2)
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G                D
If I knew then what I know now
   Em              C
What being a good man is all about
   G               D
I'd have told him I was proud
   Em            C
Just gettin' by
  G                        D
Now we don't hurt for money, ain't short on love
  Em                 C
Ain't got it all but we got enough
   G             D
Bills gеt paid, mouths get fed
   C
Got a good lovin' woman lying in my bed
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                  D
Ain't rollin' low or flyin' high
  Em                    C
Somеwhere in the middle just gettin' by
   G                   D
Been in between most all my life
  Em                 C
All I ever wanted layin' by my side
   C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
   C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
 
 
[Bridge]
   D                           Em           C
Raise a toast to the stars, can up to the sky
 
 
[Chorus]
   G                   D
Just waitin' on the by and by
    Em                       C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
   G                     D
Been in between most all my life
     Em                      C
All I ever wanted standin' by my side
       C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
        C
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
 
 
[Outro]
G D Em C   
(x2)
Oh just gettin' by
              Padre's cashin' in that overtime
Charcoal grill; Friday night
Styrofoam cooler stocked cold and light
Just gettin' by
Watch us young ones run round the yard
On the tail end of a week worked hard
Raise a toast to the stars
And a can up to the sky

Ain't rollin' low or flying high
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted sittin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

If I knew then what I know now
What being a good man is all about
I'd a told him I was proud
Just gettin' by
Now we don't hurt for money, ain't short on love
Ain't got it all but we got enough
Bills get paid, mouths get fed
Got a good lovin' woman laying in my bed

Ain't rollin' low or flying high
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted layin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by

Raise a toast to the stars
Can up to the sky

Just waitin' on the by and by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Been in-between most all my life
All I ever wanted standin' by my side
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Somewhere in the middle just gettin' by
Oh just gettin' by
