Days I Shoulda Died
Lyrics
My mama said I been like this from the time I was born
Since I was a boy, my drug of choice was more
If it was a bet or a dare I swear I was your guy
I did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died
I've danced with the devil a hundred-and-two many times
I've pushed my luck so damn far, so far I'm alright
I ain't in the grave yet, but no one can say I ain't tried
And I've chased crazy women, made jukebox decisions
Did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died
Hey, hey, what can I say?
All the good stories start the same way
If you've ever thunk it, then I've probably done it
I'm better off now that I settled down
But I'm nothing without them days
That I shoulda died
I'm sweeter and wiser, but somewhere in the back of my mind
There's an old Zippo lighter lookin' for a fuse it can light
I might not today, but one day you know I just might
Spark that ol' flame, throw it all away
For one of them good ol' days I shoulda died
Hey, hey, what can I say?
All the good stories start the same way
If you've ever thunk it, then I've probably done it
I'm better off now that I settled down
But I'm nothing without them days
That I shoulda died
I've chased crazy women, made jukebox decisions
Did most of my livin' on days that I shoulda died
