[Verse 1]
Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again
[Chorus]
You're living our dreams, oh, you on top
My mind is aching, Lord, it won't stop
That's how it's happened, living life by the drop
[Verse 2]
Up and down that road in our worn down shoes
Talking about good things and singing the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time
[Chorus]
Living our dreams, oh, you on top
My mind is aching, Lord, it won't stop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
[Verse 3]
No wasted time, we're alive today
Churning up the past, there's no easier way
Time's been between us, a means to an end
God, it's good to be here walking together, my friend
[Chorus]
Living our dream
My mind stopped aching
That's how it happened, living life by the drop
[Outro]
That's how it happened, living life by the drop
That's how it happened, living life by the drop
Life By the Drop was written by Doyle Bramhall.
Life By the Drop was produced by Jim Gaines.
