Jelly Roll first saw the video for the new ESPN college football anthem during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. During the interview that followed, he stressed how important college football is to him, saying that it goes college football, Jesus and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The song’s opening riff is reminiscent of Dolly Parton‘s iconic “9 to 5,” but the sons share few similarities otherwise.
Jelly Roll’s “Get By” Lyrics (as Heard on ESPN):
I light every bridge I see just to watch it burn / If you’d seen all the hell I’ve seen it’d make your stomach turn / I think you know / I could tell some stories about some things you won’t believe /
I might hurt a little / I might hurt a lot / Counting down the good times / Staring down the clock / Throw some hallelujahs … / Show up Sunday morning / Looking just like last night / Yeah that’s how I get by.
