"Doing Life With Me" lyrics

"Doing Life With Me"

It ain't easy putting up with
A road dog with a cup with
A little Jack in it
You talk about the backseat
I don't know, don't ask me
How she sat in it

She carried my burdens and paid my bail
Put a Tennessee breeze in my Carolina sail
And set me free

I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me

Coulda easily said goodbye to
This runaway train you're tied to
I know I don't get it
Baby how you roll with it

The fists and the fights and the scars of the battle
The ups and the downs of the judges gavel
How'd you wind up in my unravel?

I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me

You're my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Set me free

I don't pray much anymore
For this old troubadour's
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
You're my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me

"Doing Life With Me" was one of 28 songs Eric Church recorded during a 28-day session with his band when they stayed at an old restaurant-turned-studio in the mountains of North Carolina. He said about the process, "If you listen to the songs and you hear what the songs are, you very easily go, 'This sounds like they were in the middle of quarantine.' But we weren't. I was not."
Written by Eric Church, Casey Beathard and Jeffrey Steele, this track was premiered on the 11th of December 2020.
