Capo I
Intro:
Life was a ball of alcohol and pills and booze and gals
Every hunger-over mornin was an unheeded warning that I shared with my lost pals
And the music flowed and my chosen road grew wider every day
-
Til the highs got low and my will said no, I can t go on that way
Can t go that way, can t go that way
Yes the highs got low and my will said no
-
I can t go on that way
Sugar is sweet and good prime meat is so hard to come by
Sacharin is around again but today it s do or die
My baby is home where i belong and this is still my day
I m hangin on and I m comin on strong and i can t go on that way
Can t go that way, can t go that way
I m still hangin on and comin on strong
And i can t go on that way
Up is down and next time around i ain t goin round again
When it comes my time i m gonna stop at the line and forget where i been
Who was it said that alive is dead and night to some is day
Just let her go and let a new wind blow cause i can t go on that way
Can t go that way, can t go that way
Just let her go and let a new wind blow
Cause i can t go on that way
