Тhat’ѕ the sоng we write tіll wе die
Well, the life we've been given and the way we been livin's
Just a song that we write 'til we die
Now some people write songs on livin' just right
But I write mine on just gettin' by
And I'll go on a whim, start writin' the hymn that sounds so sweet
But the troubles and the sin of the world that we're in
Knock me back off my feet
I've gotta get sober, I've gotta start livin' right
And I don't know how it's gonna go
But it ain't gon' happen tonight
So pour 'em down strong 'til I drown
And if I wake up tomorrow when that sun comes back around
I'll be wishin' I was sober
Well, the liquor and the bowl, they been savin' my soul
From the pain that the world's put on me
And Lord, I know that, upstairs, there's an old man who cares
And one day, He'll set me free
I'll go on a whim, start writin' a hymn that sounds so sweet
But the troubles and the sin of the world that we're in
Knock me back off my feet
I've gotta get sober, I've gotta start livin' right
And I don't know how it's gonna go
But it ain't gonna happen tonight
So pour 'em down strong until I drown
And if I wake up tomorrow when that sun comes back around
I'll be wishin' I was sober
Well, the life we've been given and the way we been livin's
Just a song that we write 'til we die
