if it takes a lifetime

Lyrics

i been working here, monday it'll be a year, and i can't recall a day when i didn't want to disappear, but i keep on showing up, hell-bent on growing up, if it takes a lifetime, i'm learning how to be alone. i 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 pissing 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, a 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 my 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, but i was running from, oh, our day will come, if it takes a lifetime, our day will come, if it takes a lifetime
