Lyrics

[00:10.79] I been working here
[00:12.77] Monday it'll be a year
[00:16.10] And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
[00:21.85] But I keep on showin' up
[00:24.28] Hell bent on growing up
[02:43.56][01:47.02][00:50.75][00:27.34] If it takes a lifetime
[00:33.69] I'm learnin' how to be alone
[00:36.24] Fall asleep with the TV on
[00:39.95] And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
[00:45.12] I keep my spirits high
[00:48.02] Find happiness by and by
[01:53.22][00:56.48] I got too far from my raising
[01:55.95][00:59.10] I forgot where I come from
[01:58.98][01:01.64] And the line between right and wrong was so fine
[02:04.91][01:07.61] Well I thought the highway loved me
[02:07.28][01:10.46] but she beat me like a drum
[02:10.37][01:13.01] My day will come if it takes a lifetime
[02:15.74][01:19.05]
[01:29.98] I don't keep liquor here
[01:32.71] Never cared for wine or beer
[01:36.05] And workin' for the county keeps me pissin' clear
[01:41.26] The nights are dry as dust
[01:43.98] But I'm lettin' my eyes adjust
[01:50.10]
[02:27.28] Man is the product of
[02:29.71] all the people that he ever loved
[02:33.35] And it don't make a difference how it ended up
[02:38.29] If I loved you once my friend
[02:40.62] I can do it all again
[02:47.25]
[02:50.02] I got too far from my raisin'
[02:52.80] and we fought till we went numb
[02:55.29] You were running up a mountain in your own mind
[03:01.24] And I thought that I was runnning to what I was running from
[03:06.45] Oh our day will come if it takes a lifetime
[03:12.21] Our day will come if it takes a lifetime
