If It Takes a Lifetime

Lyrics

I've been working here
 Monday, it'll be a year
 And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
 But I keep on showin' up
 Hell bent on growing up
 If it takes a lifetime
 I'm learnin' how to be alone
 Fall asleep with the TV on
 And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
 I keep my spirits high
 Find happiness by and by
 If it takes a lifetime
 I got too far from my raising
 And I forgot where I come from
 And the line between right and wrong was so fine
 Well I thought the highway loved me
 But she beat me like a drum
 My day will come if it takes a lifetime
 ♪
 I don't keep liquor here
 Never cared for wine or beer
 And workin' for the county keeps me pissin' clear
 The nights are dry as dust
 But I'm lettin' my eyes adjust
 If it takes a lifetime
 Well I got too far from my raisin'
 And I forgot where I come from
 And the line between right and wrong was so fine
 Well I thought the highway loved me
 But she beat me like a drum
 My day will come if it takes a lifetime
 ♪
 Man is a product of
 All the people that he ever loved
 And it don't make a difference how it ended up
 If I loved you once my friend
 I can do it all over again
 If it takes a lifetime
 We got too far from our raisin'
 And we fought till we went numb
 You were running up a mountain in your own mind
 And I thought that I was runnning to what I was running from
 Oh, our day will come if it takes a lifetime
 Our day will come if it takes a lifetime
