Outlive a Song

[Verse 1]
I'll have one more and I’ll head for the door
But everyone's heard me say that one before
I don't need help, only hurtin’ myself
I mumble as I fall face down on the floor

[Verse 2]
The bright lights have went out, no songs left to play
I dread tomorrow and I cuss yesterday
All that I've lost, still more hell to pay
'Cause all that god gave me, I pissed it away

[Chorus]
And that's what I get for living my songs
I should have just wrote 'em and left 'em alone
Instead I'll keep proving what ain't right is wrong
Dying here trying to Outlive a Song

[Verse 3]
This place smells like coffee, remorse and regret
And I wash down my pride with my next cigarette
Admit what I am, not much more to say
And ask God to keep me sober for the rest of the days

[Chorus]
And that’s what I get for living my songs
I should have just wrote ’em and left 'em alone
Instead I’ll keep proving what ain't right is wrong
Dying here trying to Outlive a Song

I'm dying here trying to Outlive a Song
