Verse 1 sets the emotional stakes — 'gas tank took a fifty' and 'eggs are like a luxury' LYRICS Just Tryin' to Get By By STERLING TOMAS An Original Comedy Country Shuffle Key of G · Mid-Tempo Country Shuffle · ~104 BPM Lyrics [ Verse 1 ] Well the paycheck came in Friday, gone by Saturday noon Gas tank took a fifty, grocery bill took the rest of June Eggs are like a luxury, rent went up again I looked at my wife and said "Honey, something's gotta give" So I grabbed my phone opened the camera, walked around the house Started snappin' pics of everything even that mouse [ Chorus ] Ohhhh... I'm sellin' stuff on eBay On Fakebook Marketplace too Etsy, First Dibs, Instagram Maybe I'm sellin' stuff to you TikTok, Spotify, and who knows where else I'm sellin' it through and through There's one thing you gotta remember There's one thing you should knoowww When sellin' stuff online You really got to make a SHOW! [ Verse 2 ] There's millions out there doing the same dang thing Inflation got us all just tryin' to survive So when you're sellin' somethin' online You gotta make that listing shine Great pics, great videos, and just the right words Say it like you mean it, make 'em feel the vibe But don't go usin' A.I. — it causes such contention Platforms will erase you and your followers say goodbye! [ Chorus ] Ohhhh... I'm sellin' stuff on eBay On Fakebook Marketplace too Etsy, First Dibs, Instagram Maybe I'm sellin' stuff to you TikTok, Spotify, and who knows where else I'm sellin' it through and through There's one thing you gotta remember There's one thing you should knoowww When sellin' stuff online You really got to make a SHOW! [ Verse 3 ] Well I listed Grandma's rocker for a buck ninety-nine Figured I'd be lucky just to get a bite But by Tuesday mornin' I had forty-seven bids From Houston to Helsinki and a guy in Madrid My phone was blowin' up, notifications ringin' Somebody in New Jersey said they'd pay in gold A fella down in Austin said "I'll throw in a llama" I said "Son, that rocker's already SOLD!" [ Bridge ] (spoken over the groove:) "I refreshed that page so many times my thumb went numb by Wednesday..." "The rocker went for four hundred and twelve dollars plus shipping..." "PLUS a llama I didn't ask for..." "...that showed up on a Thursday." [ Final Chorus ] Ohhhh... I'm sellin' stuff on eBay On Fakebook Marketplace too Etsy, First Dibs, Instagram Maybe I'm sellin' stuff to you TikTok, Spotify, and who knows where else I'm sellin' it through and through There's one thing you gotta remember There's one thing you should knoowww When sellin' stuff online You really got to make a SHOW! [ Outro / Tag ] If I sell somethin' today I can get me a piece of pie (repeat, fading...) Ohhh... sell it, sell it, sell it... (spoken:) "Anybody want a llama?" 🎵 Listen to more from Sterling & The Laptop Cowboyswww.SterlingAndTheLaptopCowboys.com 🤠 Subscribe for new Texas Country, Honky-Tonk, love songs, comedy songs and real stories. © 2026 Sterling & The Laptop Cowboys.
