Day I Die

We’re always trying for a better place, in this crazy race of a life
work ourselves so hard to the bone, but it never seems quite right
and when your asked what you do it for don’t turn your head don’t be ashamed
look em' right back in the eye and you tell him you are not afraid.
Cause anyway you look at it babe, your doing what you like,
don’t really need an excuse even though it seems you might
I’ve been down that road before, matter fact, I’ll be on that road tonight.
cause I can get some sleep… on the day I die.
The road is hard the road is long, so the story goes.
you drive all day, work all night
always hoping somebody shows.
I don’t care what you people say
I can push on through another night
what a shame it’d be to turn my back
when my dreams are still in sight.
Cause anyway you look at it babe, your doing what you like,
don’t really need an excuse even though it seems you might
I’ve been down that road before, matter fact, I’ll be on that road tonight.
so ready or not, I’m gonna hit that stage with everything I got
gonna strum my chords gonna raise my voice like its the last day of my life
cause I can get some sleep on the day i die.
If this life is as good as it gets, it’s good enough for me.
