Livin' and Dyin' Rag Songtext
von Average Joey

I try and keep my mind wide open
Relate to all that I see
But when my spirits are lookin′ up
You know that must come down
I swear dark clouds are followin' me around

I try and keep my heart wide open
My love ain′t locked away with no key
But everytime I give my heart away
It always comes back broken
It's so hard to take it easy


But I keep on roamin' around
Keep doin′ what I do
Keep a smile on my face
But I always end up singin′ the blues
Keep lookin' for a truth to ease my troubled mind
But all I find is a pack of lies
Why do I even try?
It′s funny how livin' makes you wanna die

I try and keep my mouth shut
So′s not to step on someone's toes
But when the whiskey hits my lips
My foot goes in my mouth
I′ll go ahead and see my own way out

But I keep on roamin' around
Keep lookin' for a clue
Keep a smile on my face
But I always end up singin′ the blues
Keep lookin′ for a truth to ease my troubled mind
But all I find is a pack of lies
Why do I even try?
It's funny how livin′ makes you wanna die

But I know that road is wide open
So I think I'll head on down the line
Laughin′ all along the way no matter which way I'm goin′
It's funny how livin' makes you wanna die
