drew kennedy - livin' or dyin' lyrics

Loading...

growing up in birmingham
middle of the state in alabam
high on speed but short on plans
to get out of here
2 years in jail of my 18
in the slammer and acting mean
convinced that i was going straight to h-ll

got loose with a siren cry
snow was falling on the city lights
7 inches the first night
my hands as cold as stone
hopped a train and turned my back
fell asleep with the clicking tracks
i’d take a bullet or a heart attack
before i went back there
no time to catch my breath or say a prayer

chorus:
i went in a lamb i’ll go out a lion
walking a fine line between living and dying
i shot that man before he did me
they locked me up and they lost the key
and i don’t think no one will be crying
if i’m living or dying

i hit texas in a couple of days
mexico was just a mile away
you cross the rio and you know what they say
there’s no turning ‘round
fell in with a mexican gang
took the place of the man who was hanged
the federalese shouldn’t do that thing
but they killed him away
home got a little further away

chorus

i’ve been here for 20 years
liked the senoritas and mexican beer
bought a little farm and a couple of steer
and i worked the land
running weed cross the border line
keeps the money flowing for me and mine
but the older i get the deeper the lines
running through my face
20 years been living without a trace

chorus
