lyrics

30 ODD YEARS OF WRITING SONGS
PLAYING THE HONKY TONKS
THE ROAD AHEAD KEEPS CLIMBING
IT JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
LIFE’S MANY BLOWS ARE STARTING TO SHOW
YOU’D BE BETTER OFF LAYING LOW
YOU’RE ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES
AND KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

SOME PEOPLE CALL YOU LAZY
OTHER’S THINK YOUR JUST PLAIN CRAZY
THEY DON’T APPRECIATE THE GOLIATHIAN EFFORT IT TAKES
TO STEP OUT OF LINE SWIM AGAINST THE TIDE
ACCOMPANYING TROUBLES ON YOUR MIND
SING FOR CHEAP WINE AND A COUPLE OF DIMES
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

YOU MIGHT AS WELL PUSH ON THROUGH
WHAT ELSE YOU GONNA DO
TENDING BARS WASHING CARS
FLIPPING BURGERS AT THE DRIVE THROUGH
SOMEDAYS YOU LOVE IT MOSTLY YOU HATE IT
FOLKS SAY YOU NEVER GONNA MAKE IT
IT’LL BE SO MUCH EASIER TO QUIT
BUT IT’S A HABIT THAT’S HARD TO KICK

THE DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM IS STILL ALIVE
DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM SOMEHOW IT SUVIVES
DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM YOU MAY NEVER ARRIVE
DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE
