Hardly Getting Over It Lyrics - Husker Du

Twenty years ago 

Saw a friend was walking by 

And I stopped him on the street to ask him 

How it went and all he did was cry 

And I looked him in the face 

But I couldn't see past his eyes 

I asked him what the problem was 

He says, here's your disguise 

Now he's hardly getting over it 

He's hardly getting used to getting by 

Now he's hardly getting over it 

He's hardly getting used to getting by, by 

Old man lays 

Down by the railroad tracks 

Got no paper on his pocket 

Got no paper on his back 

And I asked him what the time was 

He says, hit the road now, Jack 

Went back to see him next week 

He died of a heart attack and died away 

Now he's hardly getting over it 

He's hardly getting used to getting by 

He's hardly getting over it 

He's hardly getting used to getting by, by 

Grandma, she was sick 

And she is gonna die 

And grandpa had a seizure 

Moved into a hotel cell and died away 

My parents 

They just wonder 

When they both are gonna die 

And what'll I do when they die? 

Well, I'm hardly getting over it 

Hardly getting used to getting by 

Hardly getting over it 

Hardly getting used to getting by, by 

Well, I'm hardly getting over it 

Hardly getting by 

Hardly getting over it 

Hardly getting by 

Hardly getting over it 

Hardly getting by 

Can hardly get it over it 

Can hardly get by, by, goodbye 

Hardly getting over it
