| Old Miss Virgy tended bar at this shack out in the hills | |
| It never made her no money boys but paid of all her bills | |
| Now she must have been 80 years old but her heart was warm and her beer was cold | |
| She gave away more than she ever sold, she's smiling all the time. | |
| I used to sing off in the corner every Friday night | |
| To a loud crowd of cowboys, bikers and bar room fights | |
| They were drinking beer, carrying on, not a one of them listening to one of my songs | |
| But old Miss Virgy sang along, she said she knew 'em all by heart. | |
| And then one night after closing she poured me a beer | |
| She said : 'Come on over and sit down you little shit, I got something you need to hear' | |
| She said : 'Life ain't easy getting through everybody's gonna make things tough on you' | |
| 'But I can tell you right now if you dig what you do, they will never get you down'. | |
| She said life's too short to worry, life's too long to wait | |
| Too short not to love everybody, life's too long to hate | |
| I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time | |
| Trying to save a nickel or make a dime | |
| Not me, no sireee, I ain't got the time. | |
| Now I ain't seen Ol' Virgy in must have been about ten years | |
| I've been bumming around this country singing songs for tips and beers | |
| Now the nights are long, the driving's tough | |
| Hotels stink and the pay sucks | |
| But I can't dig what I do enough, so it never gets me down. | |
| I say life's too short to worry, life's too long to wait | |
| Too short not to love everybody, life's too long to hate | |
| I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time | |
| Trying to save a nickel or make a dime | |
| Not me, no sireee, I ain't got the time. |
