《Getting By A Quarter At A Time》歌词

[00:00:00] Getting By A Quarter At A Time - Chris Ledoux

[00:00:14] She's not a kid anymore she can hide her age

[00:00:22] In these dim lights

[00:00:25] Waitin' tables in this bar ain't what she's lookin' for

[00:00:32] The short years fly by but oh the long long

[00:00:35] Nights

[00:00:38] A bar tends to make a woman hard

[00:00:44] Read a story in the lines beneath her eyes

[00:00:50] As tips hit the table they jingle and they jangle

[00:00:57] Get her by a quarter at a time

[00:01:02] She's getting by a quarter at a time a diamond

[00:01:09] In the rough has lost her shine

[00:01:15] Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get

[00:01:21] Her by a quarter at a time

[00:01:33] Another man stands up to leave she's always been left

[00:01:42] Behind

[00:01:45] The change she's waitin' for keeps walkin' out the door

[00:01:51] But her quarters are silver lined she's danced to everybody's

[00:02:00] Tune

[00:02:03] But gettin' stepped on don't make her cry

[00:02:09] But after work the jukebox brings a little tear drop

[00:02:15] The memories cost a quarter at a time

[00:02:21] She's getting by a quarter at a time

[00:02:27] A diamond

[00:02:28] In the rough has lost her shine

[00:02:34] Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get

[00:02:40] Her by a quarter at a time

[00:02:45] She's getting by a quarter at a time
