cory morrow - song writer's lament ( a poem) lyrics

well the doc said, “son, you gotta quit this life you lead before you die”
i said, “i can’t quit, it’s all i know and i can’t afford to die
how am i suppose to pay your bill the i’m six feet in the ground?
who in the h-ll is gonna feed my dog when i’m no longer ’round?”
i said, “isn’t there somethin’ you can do doc? some kinda pill or remedy?”
he said, “i ain’t never heard of no drug that works to keep a man from bein’ lazy”
“lazy? now just watch it doc, ’cause i work really hard
see from 10pm to 2am every night i play my guitar
yeah and i drink real hard and i smoke real hard
and i hardly have time to sleep
lately i’ve been eatin’ so hard i can hardly see my feet”

well i sat down and i pondered a while about what that good doc had said
and i thought real quietly to myself, “you know, maybe i’d be better off dead
now you see, a dead man don’t have to worry about the police for any warrants he might have out
and i’d no longer have to hide from the credit card collectors tryin’ to flush me out
yeah bein’ dead would be great, no more smoke filled lungs or bars
no more worryin’ ’bout that liver disease i’m gonna get from drinkin’ too hard”
no more playin’ all night long, no more hangovers that last all day
no more meetin’ beautiful women, no more rollin’ ’round in the hay”

who wrote that?
who the am i kiddin’?
i don’t wanna die
i gotta lot of things left to do
got a lotta drinkin’ and smokin’, pickin’ and grinnin’
and writin’ songs for you

well i wanna live forever
at least as long as i can
i wanna smoke them cigarettes
and feel the burnin’ in my lungs man
i wanna drink lots of whiskey
and get drunk and stupid stoned
and i wanna make love to my woman
feel the p-ssion burn all night long
lord, don’t take me now
you gotta give me a little more time
i got few loose ends down here to tie up
a lotta worries on my mind

and i wanna live forever, ‘least as long as i can
i wanna smoke them marlboro lights
and feel the burnin’ in my lungs man
i wanna drink wild turkey
and get drunk and stupid stoned
i wanna make love to my texas woman
feel the p-ssion burn all night long
lord, don’t take me now
you got to give me a little more time
i gotta few loose ends down here to tie up
a lotta worries on my mind
oh yeah i gotta few loose ends down here to tie up
and lord you know i can’t afford to die
