Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life will throw you a curve ball
Back against a brick wall
Push you right up to the edge
It will hit you from your blind side
Kick you in the back side
Barely even break a sweat
It's a roll with the punches
Learning in life we lead
Oh, but I'm in it for the long haul
Win, lose, or draw, y'all
It won't get the best of me
[Verse 2]
'Cause I've been down to the wire
With my feet to the fire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
Well, I've been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me, livin' ain't killed me yet
[Verse 3]
I won't let a couple mistakes
Wrong turns that I've made
Be a noose around my neck
Hurt will hurt if you let it
Best you just forget it
Shake it off and say, what's next
It's an up, down, spin around
Crazy kinda world we're in
Oh yeah
But I'm in it for the long haul
Win, lose, or draw
My fault that I get up again
[Verse 4]
'Cause I've been down to the wire
With my feet to the fire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
Well, I've been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me, livin' ain't killed me yet
[Verse 5]
Oh, I'm in it for the long haul
Win, lose, or draw
As long as I got air to breathe
Oh, it won't get the best of me
[Verse 6]
'Cause I've been down to the wire
With my feet to the fire
But this livin' ain't killed me yet
I've been tested and tried
But I still got some fight
No, this livin' ain't killed me, livin' ain't killed me, livin' ain't killed me yet
Not yet
