Days I Shoulda Died

(альбом: Peso In My Pocket - 2021)

My momma 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 living on days I shoulda died
I've danced with the devil a hundred and too many times
I've pushed my luck so damn far, so far I'm all right
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 living
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 looking 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 living
On days that I shoulda died
