"Till My Days Are Done" lyrics
Nu Breed & Jesse Howard Lyrics
(feat. Jesse Howard)
Well, I'm down to the bottom of this bottle of whiskey
And I smoked my last cigarette (cigarette)
Another week came and gone, wrote a note I'm livin' wrong
But I still can't hang my head (my head)
I've been down in the dumps, but I'll never be a punk
You ain't never gonna see me beg (me beg)
Cause the day gonna come when my work here is done
And it won't be nothing left
Cause I won't run... from a destination (a destination)
And I won't hide... till my time comes (my time comes)
I was born... to be an outlaw (be an outlaw)
And that's what I'll be... (that's what I'll be)
Till my days are done (till my days are done)
My daddy taught me to be a good man
And treat your people right (right)
And never pull out a gun if your just gonna run
Look another man in his eyes
And never back down son, don't surrender (don't surrender)
And don't you tuck your tail
And be a stand-up man every chance you can
And always give 'em hell (give 'em hell)
And always pray to the man above (man above)
Be thankful for what you've earned
And never beat your pride no matter how it all turns out
Cause you might just crash and burn
Well, I'm down to the bottom of this bottle of whiskey
And I smoked my last cigarette (cigarette)
Another week came and gone, wrote a note I'm livin' wrong
But I still can't hang my head (my head)
I've been down in the dumps, but I'll never be a punk
You ain't never gonna see me beg (me beg)
Cause the day gonna come when my work here is done
And there won't be nothing left
Cause I won't run... from a destination (a destination)
And I won't hide... till my time comes (my time comes)
I was born... to be an outlaw (be an outlaw)
And that's what I'll be... (that's what I'll be)
Till my days are done (till my days are done)
We raised hell with the best of them, slipped past the rest
I just sat back with my feet up and lit a cigarette
I spit a lot of game to females with whiskey on my breath
And I ain't have a pot to piss in but yet they were impressed
I guess it's just my style and the way I make 'em smile
From my bad boy ways cause I was raised buck wild
And never take no shit and I don't plan to now
We keep it real as it gets, and we don't never back down
Cause we the truth and they noticed
We've been dustin, we've been chosen
We've been through hell and back but still we never lost our focus
Been heartbroken, have been betrayed but to young to see our graves
To dumb to let it go but wise enough to turn the page, C'mon
Well, I'm down to the bottom of this bottle of whiskey
And smoked my last cigarette (cigarette)
Another week came and gone, wrote a note I'm livin' wrong
But I still can't hang my head (my head)
I've been down in the dumps but I'll never be a punk
You ain't never gonna see me beg (me beg)
Cause the day gonna come when my work here is done
And there won't be nothing left
Cause I won't run... from a destination (a destination)
And I won't hide... till my time comes (my time comes)
I was born... to be an outlaw (be an outlaw)
And that's what I'll be... (that's what I'll be)
Till my days are done (till my days are done)
And I smoked my last cigarette (cigarette)
Another week came and gone, wrote a note I'm livin' wrong
But I still can't hang my head (my head)
I've been down in the dumps, but I'll never be a punk
You ain't never gonna see me beg (me beg)
Cause the day gonna come when my work here is done
And it won't be nothing left
Cause I won't run... from a destination (a destination)
And I won't hide... till my time comes (my time comes)
I was born... to be an outlaw (be an outlaw)
And that's what I'll be... (that's what I'll be)
Till my days are done (till my days are done)
