Well it's always gonna be hard To get through the hard times That's where they get their name It won't be a problem to miss what's right before you If you die worryin' in vain There's an old quote where I'm from And it may be older still Life is for the livin' And there ain't no time to kill Sometimes you lay the cards you're dealt When you should have just drawn two No sense in playing cat and mouse And also don't go play games that you may not know how to The odds are always on the house There's an old quote where I'm from And it may be older still Life is for the livin' And there ain't no time to kill There's a lot of metaphors for better livin' I've heard so many along the way It's tough to take advice that you've been given When you've spent your life going against the grain There's an old quote where I'm from And it may be older still Life is for the livin' And there ain't no time to kill There's an old quote where I'm from And it may be older still Life is for the livin' And there ain't no time to kill
