This Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] New town, new crowd Thousand miles from my last stage Three girls, three drinks Living like a line at the turn of a page And miles mixed with come-down highs And nights without any sleep The wear and tear is hard to hide Even bloodshot eyes can see [Chorus] This life is gonna kill me somehow It's gonna chew me up and spit me right out Something's gotta give to get in my head That I ain't got an X painted on my chest And if I don't give a damn enough To straighten up how I've been living then eventually This life is gonna kill me [Verse 2] You could say that I'm my own worst enemy You could say a good time is like a bad friend that I still keep There's a little kid hanging in a picture frame that never thought about 21 He'd break down somewhere so damn lost He'd let it roll off his tongue [Chorus] This life is gonna kill me somehow It's gonna chew me up and spit me right out Something's gotta give to get in my head That I ain't got an X painted on my chest And if I don't give a damn enough To straighten up how I've been living then eventually This life is gonna kill me [Chorus] Something's gotta give to get in my head That I ain't got an X painted on my chest And if I don't give a damn enough To straighten up how I've been living then eventually This life is gonna kill me This life is gonna kill me somehow
