Jelly Roll first saw the video for ESPN’s new college football anthem during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. During the ensuing interview, he emphasized how important college football was to him, saying it ranged from college football to Jesus to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The song’s opening riff is reminiscent of Dolly Partonthe iconic “9 to 5,” but the threads share few similarities otherwise.
Lyrics to “Get By” by Jelly Roll (as heard on ESPN):
I light every bridge I see just to watch it burn / If you saw all the hell I’ve seen it would turn your stomach / I think you know / I could tell stories about some things you wouldn’t believe /
I might hurt a little / I might hurt a lot / Counting the good times / Watching the clock / Throwing out a few hallelujahs… / Showing up Sunday morning / Looking exactly like I did last night / Yeah, that’s how I get by.
