Getting By, High, And Strange Lyrics - Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends: The Publishing Demos1968-72 - Kris Kristofferson

New York City was a stich in time when I stood all I could of LA 

Patchin' up the pieces of my tangled mind diggin' somethin' different every day yeah 

Soon as I was better I was movin' on gettin' it together gettin' good and gone 

And by (gettin' by) high (good and high) and strange (gonna get some strange) 

New ain't nothin' but a state of mind 

Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind 

I'll take anything that I can find anyhow anywhere anyway anytime 

I'll keep livin' till the day I die as long as I can get it up for one more try 

Gettin' by (gettin' by) high (good and high) and strange (gonna get some strange)
