These Days (i Barely Get By) Lyrics - George Jones

I woke up this morning aching with pain 

Don't think I can work, but I'll try 

The car'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 didn't say why 

She laid all our 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, we'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 was when she told me goodbye 

Whoa, these days I barely get by 

Whoa, these days, one barely gets by
