Doing Life With Me

It ain't easy puttin' 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 livin' 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 judge's 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 livin' 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 livin' 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
