Well I've won and lost against the best|This old road sure been a hell of a test|But I'm still driving I ‘aint slowin' down||There's rules I love to break and bend|Mistakes I've made again and again|But I tell you this my friends I'm still around | |I hit it hard man| So far man| No layin' up no holding back|I ‘aint afraid of nothing and that's a fact|I hit it long man|Until it's gone man|Keep taking chances and living large|I hit it, hit it, hit it|Hard man||Yea most people would have given up by now|All the rough I've seen the ups and downs|Well somehow I just keep on playing through||So all you critics pull up a chair|At the winner's circle soon I'll be there|Pointing my finger and remind you||Yea all the rough that I've been in|Ups and downs and back again|A lot of folks would have hung it up by now||I've had enough of people tryin to tell me how to live my life|All these lawyers and shrinks startin to sound like my ex wives|Sure I gamble and drink and smoke three packs a day|‘Aint country music written about life this way|It's from the heart' when |
