I've played every honky tonk and roadside bar and juke joint
Between here and Minneapolis
You know I've lived these miles
There's a haggard man behind these eyes and smile
I picked up the guitar 'round the time I turned fourteen
Lit that fire, been burnin' tires, hard booze, both [?] and gasoline
Stayin' wired
Come back down the best that we know how
We know now
We're all tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
But I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
I've felt all the pressures playin' to an empty room
And the pleasures of a crowd that's singin' loud to every word to all my songs
But the band and me, Lord, keep rollin' on
We roll on
We're still tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
We're all tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
I'll never quit 'cause I can't quit enough
