Some Just Live

There's a young man with his friends
Hanging out down by the river
He's drinking and carrying on
Watching time go by
There's a man down stream getting baptised
Looking for forgiveness
He's been there and down that
And now letting the water
Wash away his pride
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
You always get back as much as you give
Some people live and learn
And some people just live
There's a woman in red dress
Putting on lipstick in front of the mirror
She'll be sleeping in some strangers hotel room tonight
There's a women next door here in town
For confessin' sinners
Telling anyone who'll listen
Everything's going to be alright
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
You'll always get back as much as you give
Some people live and learn
Then some just live
Here I am at the crossroads, hat and hand
Looking for direction
Temptations walking up to me
And she's got a red dress on
Hey bartender close my tab
Because i once learned a lesson
And i can still feel the pain
So i'm walking out of here tonight
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
You'll always get back just as much as you give
Oh some people live and learn
Some people just live
Some people just live
