I'll Be Getting By

Well she moves with the trees and their always moving
Wind blows steady across the northern states
She's was born to a rambler, he was always leaving
She learned from her daddy, but I'll hold her place

I'll be getting by on wasting my time
Down in the valley with you on my mind
With you on my mind oh you on my mind
Down in the valley with you on my mind

She was raised by the banks of the Illinois River
Well the current pulls the hardest when your tired and worn
When the water hits the shore you can almost hear her
Singing songs about the river and the place she's born

I'll be getting by on wasting my time
Down in the valley with you on my mind
With you on my mind oh you on my mind
Down in the valley with you on my mind

Well it's been years since I've seen her but I ain't forgetting
Well she's long gone honey oh she's wild and free
When the streets stop a'talking I'll head down to that valley
Where the wind and the river put her right next to me

I'll be getting by on wasting my time
Down in the valley with you on my mind
With you on my mind oh you on my mind
Down in the valley with you on my mind
