Once my future was shiny as the seat of my pants are today
That old Mother Luck and all her daughters started duckin′ me
When I finally got tired of just sittin'
There watchin′ my life slip away
Said I better start takin' all the livin' that′s a-comin′ to me
Now I love too much, fight too much
Stay out late at night too much
But you bet your butt I'm gonna live before I die
And I may smoke too much, drink too much
Every blessed thing too much
It′s a low-down life that ain't gonna pass me by
I don′t care if the world don't ever hear the sound of my name
Old Mother Luck and all her daughters keep a-duckin′ me
Long as that cat I gotta look at when I shave ain't ashamed
There ain't no Jody in the world I′d ever rather be
And I still love too much, fight too much
Stay out late at night too much
But you bet your butt I′m gonna live before I die
And I may smoke too much, drink too much
Every blessed thing too much
It's a low-down life that ain′t gonna pass me by
