Mel Tillis - Best Way I Know How [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I look up and there you stand before me
Looking so surprised at what you see
Did you really think I'd be the same without you
And stay the way that you remember me

I had reasons for resisting all temptation
And the reason's standing right before me now
And I hope you'll take into consideration
That I'm getting by the best way I know how

All the empty bottles on the tables
And I seldom even shave or comb my hair
No I didn't drink so much that I'm not able
It's just that I'm not going anywhere

Seeing me like this I hope you won't feel guilty
And don't blame yourself for what I'm doing now
I'm just right back where I was before you met me
And I'm getting by the best way I know how

And I'm getting by the best way I know how...
