Live Until We Die

Verse 1

Boots hit the gravel at the break of dawn

Coffee stains on a shirt I've worn too long

The skyline's crooked but the fences hold

Every mile I've walked has turned my heart to gold

That old truck's got a rattle and a dent

But she starts right up when I turn the key

Down this two-lane highway heaven-sent

Freight trains howling wild and free

Pre-Chorus

Some days the sun just beats you down

Some nights the stars all fall away

But I was born beneath this stubborn ground

And I ain't finished yet today

Chorus

We live until we die

Keep on rolling on

Ups and downs and in-betweens

The good times and the wrongs

It's just life in this old world

We're standing on our own two feet

So live until you die

And keep on rolling down that street

Verse 2

My daddy's watch is ticking slow

Ticks he counted in the cornfield rows

He used to say when winters went too long

Son you bend but don't you break the song

That porch light's burning through the fog

Mama's waiting with the kitchen light

Storm outside turns rivers into bogs

But we're still here come morning light

Pre-Chorus

Some days the world just spins you 'round

Some nights the gravel 's steep and cold

But I was raised on this hard ground

And I got stories yet untold being told

Chorus

We live until we die

Keep on rolling on

Ups and downs and in-betweens

The good times and the wrongs

It's just life in this old world

We're standing on our own two feet

So live until you die

And keep on rolling down that street

Bridge

High water rising low tide falling

Heart keeps beating call it going

Take the bitter take the sweet

One more sunrise at my feet

Chorus

We live until we die

Keep on rolling on

Ups and downs and in-betweens

The good times and the wrongs

It's just life in this old world

We're standing on our own two feet

So live until you die

And keep on rolling down that street
