Lived Long Enough

I've lived long enough to know

A bar ain't a place to start a fight

And you can't cover up a joint

By lighting up a Marlboro light

Don't go jump them train tracks unless

You know you got that spare aired up

I know these are cold, hard facts 'cause

I've lived long enough to know that

Hard work pays, Jesus saves

And you can't outrun the cops or the truth

Talk is cheap, nothing's free

And dogs oughta live longer than they do

There ain't nothing else in this world

That a good girl's love can't get you through

I've lived long enough to know that

I don't wanna know life without you

I've messed up enough to know

When I got something worth getting right

I don't know what's down the road

But as long as you're riding shotgun-side

I got a hand that you can hold

And a heart that you can trust

Girl, I can only promise you this 'cause

I've lived long enough to know that

Hard work pays, Jesus saves

And you can't outrun the cops or the truth

Talk is cheap, nothing's free

And dogs oughta live longer than they do

There ain't nothing else in this world

That a good girl's love can't get you through

I've lived long enough to know that

I don't wanna know life without you

Some guys spend their whole life

Wishing they had my kind of love

I just thank the Lord above that

I've lived long enough to know that

Hard work pays, Jesus saves

And you can't outrun the cops or the truth

Talk is cheap, nothing's free

And dogs oughta live longer than they do

There ain't nothing else in this world

That a good girl's love can't get you through

I've lived long enough to know that

I don't wanna know life without you

Hard work pays, Jesus saves

I don't wanna know life without you

Talk is cheap, nothing's free

And dogs oughta live longer than they do

Hard work pays, Jesus saves

I don't wanna know life without you

I've lived long enough to know that

I don't wanna know life without you
