mark-almond - what am i living for? by lyrics

well i said to my best friend, can’t you see what a mess i’m in?
my daddy he taught me to drink whisky
but my momma she died from a-drinkin’ gin
my brother, he works in a coal mine, works so hard to get his pay
my sister, she believes in sweet lord jesus
and she’s waitin’ for redemption day
what am i livin’ for?
why am i living, why am i giving all my life
to bring up a family, children, and wife
tell me my friend hasn’t that been done before?
i remember my first job, i was singin’ with a band
every payday came around
i’d take my money from the man
he said “now spend it wisely, boy, or save it while you have the time”
but i got drunk on a stand
and i blew the band
now i’m standing in the unemployment line
what am i livin’ for?
why am i living, why am i giving all my life
to bring up a family, children, and wife
tell me my friend hasn’t that been done before?
i had me a sweet woman, mine until the sun don’t shine
i came home one morning, early
and i found her with a friend of mine
it’s not so much i needed her
but oh, god, how to stay away
i packed my bags, and i hit the road
and i’ve never seen her to this day
what am i livin’ for?
why am i living, why am i giving all my life
to bring up a family, children, and wife
listen my friend, its been done before
