Uncle Tupelo - Life Worth Livin' lyrics

rate me

This song is sung for anyone that's listening

This song is for the broken-spirited man

This song is for anyone left standing

After the strain of a slow, sad end

It seems everybody wants what someone else has

There's sorrow enough for all

Just go in any bar and ask

With a beer in each hand and a smile in between

All around's a world grown mean

We've all had our ups and downs

It's been mostly down around here

Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear

Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'

That's why we drink ourselves to sleep

Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin'

That's why we pray for our souls to keep

There's nothing left now but broken pieces

Of one man's broken will to care

And in the end before all is said and done

How many others might follow him there?

This song is sung for anyone that's listening

This song is for the broken-spirited man

This song is for anyone left standing

After the strain of a slow, sad end

Midnight is comin' 'round

Still mostly down around here

Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear
