| 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 showing up, hell-bent on growing up
|
| If it takes a lifetime
|
| I’m learning 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, 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 working for the county keeps me pissin' clear
|
| The nights are dry as dust, but I’m letting my eyes adjust
|
| If it takes a lifetime
|
| I got too far from my raising, 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 the 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, oh, I can do it all again
|
| If it takes a lifetime
|
| We got too far from our raising and we fought 'til we went numb
|
| You were running up a mountain in your own mind
|
| And I thought that I was running 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 |
