I was hell on wheels 'til every damn wheel fell off
If he told me not to do it then I did it with him, why the hell not?
Like I held on to us through the dust just hoping somehow
Maybe we can ride it out, even though I knew we were headed for the ground
Lucky to even be alive, the way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights, I was fighting suicide
Every day feeling low, like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road, you get used to getting by
Just trying to survive, the way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life, yeah
After I loved her, never was the same again
She said the same about 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 touched a cent
Since that same loose night where the river bend
Casino took all of my money and that Midwest honey done run off with my heart
Lucky to even be alive, the way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights, I was fighting suicide
Every day feeling low, like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road, you get used to getting by
Just trying to survive, the way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life when I was doin' life
Lucky to even be alive, the way I was doin' life
Hardly made it through the nights, I was fighting suicide
Every day feeling low, like it's just the way it goes
When you come from down the road, you get used to getting by
Just trying to survive, the way I was doin' life
Felt like I was doin' life
