If It Takes a Lifetime

I've been working here Monday, it'll be a year And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear But I keep on showin' up Hell bent on growing up If it takes a lifetime I'm learnin' how to be alone Fall asleep with the TV on And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone I keep my spirits high Find happiness by and by If it takes a lifetime I got too far from my raising And I forgot where I come from And the line between right and wrong was so fine Well I thought the highway loved me But she beat me like a drum My day will come if it takes a lifetime I don't keep liquor here Never cared for wine or beer And workin' for the county keeps me pissin' clear The nights are dry as dust But I'm lettin' my eyes adjust If it takes a lifetime Well I got too far from my raisin' And I forgot where I come from And the line between right and wrong was so fine Well I thought the highway loved me But she beat me like a drum My day will come if it takes a lifetime Man is a product of All the people that he ever loved And it don't make a difference how it ended up If I loved you once my friend I can do it all over again If it takes a lifetime We got too far from our raisin' And we fought till we went numb You were running up a mountain in your own mind And I thought that I was runnning to what I was running from Oh, our day will come if it takes a lifetime Our day will come if it takes a lifetime
