Down to Ride - Livin' Lyrics

Hey doctor doctor, tell me is there a cure
Uncertain I had the blues, but now I'm dead sure
With all of this stress it's like I'm walking on glass
And people keep putting me down, but they can kiss my ass
'Cause I work for a living, break my back for the dime
When it rains it pours, man you know I ain't lyin'
He said there's no magic bullet, no cures, no vaccines
Gotta keep on keepin' on, if you know what I mean

'Cause the truth, the truth

Suffering's a given, life's a test of the will
By this truth be driven, no secret to reveal
You gotta just keep diggin', and keep on livin'

Hey preacher preacher, can I drop you a line
You tell the man upstairs that I'm a little behind
I've got all these bills and taxes, and all this sin
They keep knocking me down, I can't get up again
Now they keep talking at me, saying "you've gotta have faith"
But be that, as it may it don't put food on my plate
He said there's a time to fight, and there's a time to kill
And other times in this life you let go of the will

'Cause the truth, the truth

Suffering's a given, life's a test of the will
By this truth be driven, no secret to reveal
You gotta just keep diggin', and keep on livin'
Hey father father, can you hear my prayers
I'm on my knees, but it feels like you're not there
Am I too far gone, you know I just can't see
While I take hit after hit, and can't get no relief
Now I know I'm a sinner, yeah I know I'm a fool
But if you could please tell me what the hell do I do
He said a miracle is not too much to ask
But the road that leads to life is a narrow path

'Cause the truth, the truth

Suffering's a given, life's a test of the will
By this truth be driven, no secret to reveal
You gotta just keep diggin', and keep on livin'
