Grayson Capps - Get Back Up

D...........................A................E
yesterday was a very fine day indeed

D.................................A.......................................E
I got up outta bed went outside and brushed my teeth
put on dirty clothes and go back to work
I gotta get the money to give the money away
at the rich man's store

I live on a place they call south front street
it ain't on a map you couldn't find me if you tried
we got a horse, and a train, and a garden in the backyard
it's a rotten paradise, at times I think I'm gonna die

they try to drag me down
they try to drag me down
I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up, I get back up again

here come the powerman with the waterman by his side
looks like the telephoneman gave them a ride
they killed my house and left me this way
I bought a kerosene lamp and baby you know I don't bathe

they try to drag me down
they try to drag me down
I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up, I get back up again
