Lyrics Gettin' By, High and Strange - 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)
[ Guitar
]
New
ain′t
nothin′
but
a
state
of
mind...
(Gettin'
by
good
and
high)
and
strange
(gonna
get
some
strange)
