Livin’ These Songs I Write

No I can't sing if I don't believe it
'Cause I was raised on 3 chords and the truth
I can't write it if I ain't lived in
So if the women don't get me I guess it'll be the [?]

I've gotta stop livin' these songs I write
I've gotta stop chasin' these neon lights
My life's like one big party
Just keeps goin' on and on and on
All these drinkin', cheatin' songs
They're gonna kill me 'fore too long
I'll be dead and gone
If I keep livin' these songs I write

I went to see the doctor, he told me I oughta
Start slowin' it down a little 'fore it's too late
Even my best girlfriend told me last weekend
"Oh, I love ya, boy, but you ain't lookin' so great"

I've gotta stop livin' these songs I write
I've gotta stop chasin' these neon lights
My life's like one big party
Just keeps goin' on and on and on
All these drinkin', cheatin' songs
They're gonna kill me 'fore too long
I'll be dead and gone
If I keep livin' these songs I write

I've gotta stop livin' these songs I write
I've gotta stop chasin' these neon lights
My life's like one big party
Just keeps goin' on and on and on
All these drinkin', cheatin' songs
They're gonna kill me 'fore too long
I'll be dead and gone
If I keep livin' these songs I write
I'll be dead and gone
If I keep livin' these songs I write
