This Life

[Verse 1]
New town, new crowd
Thousand miles from my last stage
Three girls, three drinks
Living like a line at the turn of a page
And miles mixed with come-down highs
And nights without any sleep
The wear and tear is hard to hide
Even bloodshot eyes can see

[Chorus]
This life is gonna kill me somehow
It's gonna chew me up and spit me right out
Something’s gotta give to get in my head
That I ain't got an X painted on my chest
And if I don't give a damn enough
To straighten up how I’ve been living then eventually
This life is gonna kill me

[Verse 2]
You could say that I'm my own worst enemy
You could say a good time is like a bad friend that I still keep
There's a little kid hanging in a picture frame that never thought about 21
He'd break down somewhere so damn lost
He'd let it roll off his tongue

[Chorus]
This life is gonna kill me somehow
It's gonna chew me up and spit me right out
Something's gotta give to get in my head
That I ain't got an X painted on my chest
And if I don’t give a damn enough
To straighten up how I’ve been living then eventually
This life is gonna kill me

[Chorus]
Something's gotta give to get in my head
That I ain’t got an X painted on my chest
And if I don't give a damn enough
To straighten up how I've been living then eventually
This life is gonna kill me
This life is gonna kill me somehow
