Verse One
I’m married to this life and this life is what I love
It’s something that I’ve worked hard for and something I can be proud of
I ain’t trying to make a legend or become a casualty
I ain’t saying that I’m ever gonna turn out anything more than what you see

Verse Two
There’s many places that I’ve been lost along the way
When my heart got the better part of all the words I had to say
I’ve tumbled into obscurity and reveled in defeat
I’ve found myself beyond all understanding and belief

Chorus
I ain’t sayin’ that I can change all he things in life that I’d like to
But if you’re anything like me, changing yourself is plenty to do
Ain’t nobody gonna live forever and we all gotta go sometime
And I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my life standing around in line
Waiting around to die to meet a deadline, deadline

Verse Three
The hang-ups of humanity still plague our daily bread
There’s people throwing food away while children go hungry to bed
The distance between compassion and responsibility
It’s getting further and further part and more and more difficult to see

Chorus

Verse Four
I’m married to this life and this life is what I love
I’m fascinated by the road I’m on; I’ve never wanted anything so much
I ain’t saying that what I’m doing makes me any better than anyone else
In the end we all gotta do what we gotta do to save ourselves
Chorus
