Sometimes you've got so much
Seems like you'll never run out
Then comes the day it's gone
Do you know what I'm talking about?

I'm just scrapin' by
But I'm living the good life
Doesn't hurt to go without
My Eyes on the bigger prize

I'd rather walk a broken road where I could take my time
Then roll on down streets of gold never seeing the simple things in life

I'm just scrapin' by
But I'm doing my best to survive
Sometimes I'm flying high
I'm happy just to be alive

Sometimes you've got so much
Seems like you'll never run out
Then comes the day it's gone
Do you know what I'm talking about?

I'm just scrapin' by
But I'm living the good life

When it seems that I'm running low and the long and cold
I still like share what I got
Sometimes it just a smile
Sometimes it's a song
Sometimes I'm flying high

Sometimes you've got so much
Seems like you'll never run out
Then comes the day it's gone
Do you know what I'm talking about?

I don't mind scraping by, I don't mind

I'm just scrapin' by
Living the good life
Doesn't hurt to go without
My Eyes on the bigger prize

I don't mind scraping by, I don't mind

I'm just scrapin' by
But I'm doing my best to survive
Sometimes I'm flying high
I'm happy just to be alive

I don't mind scraping by, I don't mind

I'm just scrapin' by
I'm just scrapin' by
I'm just scrapin' by
