"Live Well" lyrics

Look back at my childhood, what was he thinking?
Scrapbook highlights of
Smoking, driving and drinking
Packed with pets and games in the back of a wagon
Some white trash nonsense
Not to sound like I'm bragging

Cause I'm alive doesn't mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I've got the scrapes, the cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You're a fool if you choose this

With some distance memories get a bit clearer
Watching licenses lost in a rearview mirror
Guess we held ourselves to a different standard
To lose your keys those days, you had to be hammered

Cause I'm alive doesn't mean I lived well
Means I got back up every time that I fell
I've got the scrapes, the cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You're a fool if you choose this

And I recognize I've done fine
Yeah, I realize I've got mine
There must be better ways to make men
Then the nonsense we did back then
Cause I'm alive doesn't mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I've got the scrapes, the cuts and the bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You're a fool if you choose this
