From the recording Livin'
Lyrics
Trading sleep for fun.
I know I’m on a run.
Borrow happiness,
From tomorrow,
Cuz the party ain't done.
You can lose a bet,
You can lose a dollar.
You can never lose a friend,
Searching for the wisdom,
Searching for meaning.
I don't want to tell you how to live,
What's the good in living,
If the living really isn't that good?
I planted an oak tree in the valley.
Next time you see me I'll be there,
Staring in the air without a single goddam care.
Take your friends,
Lift them up.
Keep your head on straight.
All the love in this room,
Will never falter,
Will never fail.
I don't want to tell you how to live,
What's the good in living,
If the living really isn't that good?
Fat tomatoes from the garden,
Hot sex with your darlin.
Fiddles playing banjos rollin’.
I don't want to tell you how to live,
What's the good in living,
If the living really isn't that good?
What's the good in living,
If the living really isn't that good?
