|
Once my future was shiny as the |
|
Seat of my pants are today |
|
Then old mother luck and all her |
|
Daughters started duckin' me |
|
When I finally got tired of just sittin' there |
|
Watching my life slip away |
|
I said I better start takin' all the living |
|
That's a-comin' to me |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Now I love too much, fight too much |
|
Stay out late at night too much |
|
But you bet your butt I'm going to |
|
Live before I die |
|
And I may smoke too much, drink too much |
|
Every blessed thing too much |
|
It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by |
|
I don't care if the world don't ever hear |
|
The sound of my name |
|
And old mother luck and all her daughters |
|
Keep a-duckin' me |
|
As long as that cat that I gotta look at when |
|
I shave ain't ashamed |
|
There ain't no Jody in the world |
|
I'd ever rather be. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Now I love too much, fight too much |
|
Stay out late at night too much |
|
But you bet your butt I'm going to |
|
Live before I die |
|
And I may smoke too much, drink too much |
|
Every blessed thing too much |
|
It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by |
