"Just Enough To Get By" lyrics - THE LONE BELLOW

Mama had to get away
Spare herself a little shame
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by
A lonely, lovely little girl
Born into a broken world
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by

You can stay out of town
For a couple of days
A couple of months
'Til the storm blows away

If silence is golden
I know a lot of wealthy women
Buying what's been sold them
Buy anything but freedom

Dug a hole down in the floor
Hide her hurt a little more
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by
Hears a stranger call her name
Tells herself she's not to blame
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by

If you feel sorry for yourself
Just give it a rest
Forgive and forget
All works out for the best

If silence is golden
I know a lot of wealthy women
Buying what's been sold them
Buy anything but freedom
Buy anything but freedom

You know people
They will believe
Only what you let them see
So tell them what they want to hear
How much better that you feel
And they'll give you
Just enough to get by
Get by, get by just enough

If silence is golden
I know some wealthy women
Buying what's been sold them
Buy anything but freedom

If silence is golden
I know some wealthy women
Buying what's been sold them
Buy anything but freedom
Buy anything but freedom
