Lyrics

Thank you, baby
Thank you, you're so kind
Oh, oh my baby
Oh, oh
This great big beautiful world
If you just look around you
You will find that it has everything that you truly need
And remember, you only got one life
So you better live that one, baby
Don't live your life by what the neighbors might think
Guys, you know about this one, you go out
You see that chick over in the corner and you go, "I dig that"
And your friend go, "Hey man, you don't wanna go to that swagman
She's no good"
And you go, "Maybe you're right, I won't say nothin'"
Next thing you know, he's over there, "Hey baby, how you doin'?
Yeah, wanna get married next Sunday? Yeah"
You gotta watch it
A wise man told me this so I'm gonna tell it to you
And that is, remember, always use your own brain
Because if you don't, another son of
A bitch will try to use it for you
Live your life, be the best that you can be
Be a gunslinger in life
Hey, one life
Yeah, it's alright
We only got one life
So you better go on livin'
I've had my fun
If I never get well no more
Hey, I got a real bad case
I've had my fun, yes I have
If I never get well no more
I got a real, real bad case
My health is fading, yeah, hey
Everybody, I'm goin' down slow, I'm goin' down so slow
Well you see
Try to do as much as you can, baby
See this world, be the best that you can
The wise man say, "You never miss your water until the well run dry"
That's that time when I'm leavin' you
Suddenly you go, "Ah, you can't do that, I love you"
Hey, you ain't said shit before
Why you cryin' now?
But baby, if you give me another chance, another chance
Love is hard, isn't it?
"Honey, I'm home"
"Harry, Harry, stop it, my husband's home"
Is that you in the room doing the washing?
"Yes, yes"
"You want me to start without you, honey?"
"If you're good"
Well, that's the way it is
So live your life, baby
Yeah
If you see my mama, tell her the shape that I'm in, hey
Oh, if you see my mama, tell her the shape that I'm in
Hey, I'm goin' down slow
Tell my mama to pray for me, yeah yeah
And forgive me for, oh, of my sins, hey
Oh yeah, forgive me for my sins
Chris Thays, ladies and gentlemen
Keep the monitor up for me
Thank you, say
