"Doin' Life" lyrics

I was hell on wheels 'til every damn wheel fell off
If you told me not to do it, then I did it with a why-the-hell-not
Like I held onto us through the dust just hopin' somehow
Maybe we can ride it out
Even though I knew we were headed for the ground

Lucky to even be alive
Way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights
I was fightin' suicide
Every day, feelin' low
Like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road
You get used to gettin' by, just tryin' to survive
Way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life, yeah

After I loved her, never was the same again
She said same 'bout cocaine and Jameson
She got me drunk, I got her high
End up the same way every damn night
Thought we were untouchable, but I ain't touch her since
That same loose night where the river bend
Say no, took all of my money
And that midwest honey done run off with my heart

Lucky to even be alive
Way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights
I was fightin' suicide
Every day, feelin' low
Like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road
You get used to gettin' by, just tryin' to survive
Way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life
Way I was doin' life

Lucky to even be alive
Way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights
I was fightin' suicide
Every day, feelin' low
Like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road
You get used to gettin' by, just tryin' to survive
Way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life
