Live Well Songtext
von Barenaked Ladies

Look back at my childhood, what was he thinkin′?
Scrapbook highlights of smokin', drivin′ and drinkin'
Packed with pets and games in the back of a wagon
Some white trash nonsense, not to sound like I'm braggin′

′Cause I'm alive
Doesn′t mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I've got the scrapes
The cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You′re a fool if you choose this

With some distance memories get a bit clearer
Watching licenses lost in a rearview mirror
Guess we held ourselves to a different standard
To lose your keys those days, you had to be hammered


'Cause I′m alive
Doesn't mean I lived well
Means I got back up every time that I fell
I got the scrapes
The cuts and bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You're a fool if you choose this

And I recognize I′ve done fine
Yeah, I realize I′ve got mine
There must be better ways to make men
Than the nonsense we did back then

'Cause I′m alive
Doesn't mean I lived well
Just means I got back up every time that I fell
I got the scrapes
The cuts and the bruises
I know the mistakes that it takes
You′re a fool if you choose this
