Paroles de Getting By A Quarter At A Time

She's not a kid anymore she can hide her age in these dim lights Waitin' tables in this bar ain't what she's lookin' for The short years fly by but oh the long long nights A bar tends to make a woman hard Read a story in the lines beneath her eyes As tips hit the table they jingle and they jangle Get her by a quarter at a time She's getting by a quarter at a time a diamond in the rough has lost her shine Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get her by a quarter at a time Another man stands up to leave she's always been left behind The change she's waitin' for keeps walkin' out the door But her quarters are sliver lined she's danced to everybody's tune But gettin' stepped on don't make her cry But after work the jukebox brings a little tear drop The memories cost a quarter at a time She's getting by a quarter...
