Here I go pickin' up my life again
A-kickin down the road
Calling all the friends I got left
Without a nickel left to spend
Or a pocket left to put it in
Gettin' on with a wine jug for a friend
I'm done gone 'fore I leave this town again
I don't know where this line ends
I don't even know where it began
I never thought that growin' up would feel like this
I ain't ready yet for givin' up or givin' in
I never wanna sleep cause there's so much that I don't wanna miss
I saw a pretty girl lose her pearly face
And a workin' man lose his burl to age
The grind gets harder every day
Until the day I walk away
I never thought that growin' up would feel like this
I ain't ready yet for givin' up or givin' in
I never wanna sleep cause there's so much that I don't wanna miss
Now I'm a lucky man I got all my toes and teeth
A' here I am walkin' up this well worn-down street
Never know just who I'll meet
And where that you found me
I never thought that growin' up would feel like this
I ain't ready yet for givin' up or givin' in
I don't think about what people think about the way I live
I gotta do it all today, I sure can't do it when I'm dead
I never wanna sleep cause there's so much that I don't wanna miss
