Livin’ Lyrics by Guy Smith

2024

He had a shot of Jäger in his left hand, a dose of Cuervo in his right
He was bound and determined not to live through the night

Thirty years of laboring, had left him worn down to the bone
A couple of divorces had left him broke and all alone
Busted bar fight bones made him hard and a little rough
Nothin' much mattered to him now, he had simply had enough

He had no use for crying, had no use for living too
He had a use for dying, to kill off all of his blues
End the pain, end the shame, end the endless gamеs
He downed a shot, and he ordеred up, dancing closer to the flames

 Life can beat a man down ‘til he just can’t stand no more
 But a man can always choose to walk on out the door

Then a tall one slaked into the bar, took the stool right next to him
“You a two fisted drinker” she asked, he replied with a sly grin
She was packed tight into her jeans, blue eyes flashed his way
He had come that night planning to exit, now he kinda wanted to stay

“Nah, I just kinda knew you'd be coming through”
“So, I ordered myself up a drink, and I ordered one for you too.”
She turned and smiled, and he slid that Jäger her way
“Cowboy, you charmed me, but give me that Jose.”

Doesn't matter what you gamble, or the cards you gotta to play
If the Devil’s ain't ready to take you, he'll find a way to make you stay
