All This Living

She called from Houston Hotel, new tattoo and boots Staring at the ceiling Wondering why we choose the things we choose And I said, "Hey there darling, You know I've thought the same thing too. Sometimes it's hard to tell If you win or lose." She said, "Where did we go wrong? Where did we make the fatal step?" "Somewhere between I do And promises unkept." There was a moment of silence And then a laugh "Ain't no looking back, Ain't no second chance." So I'll shoot 'em while I've got 'em Give it all 'til I'm dead Though there's storm clouds arising And lightning flashing ahead And I'll keep on driving Over every mile of this land All of this living Sure can be hard on a man Well it's snowing here in Denver But I've got whiskey in my hand And I'm staring out the window Wondering where the hell I've been And every time I think of her It's almost more than I can stand All of this living Sure can be hard on a man So I'll shoot 'em while I've got 'em Give it all 'til I'm dead Though there's storm clouds arising And lightning flashing ahead And I'll keep on driving Over every mile of this land All of this living Sure can be hard on a man
