Well the morning's come and you're on the run, gotta keep the family fed Last night's drinking kind of ruined your thinking and you're feeling light in the head You don't know what's right, and you don't know what's wrong, and you're tired Your arms are tight, throwing coal all day long on the fire Chorus You wonder if you're living, 'cause you're always on the giving end And nothing's ever coming in You say you're deeper in debt the baby's always wet Well you're living the good life There's no reason there's no rhyme to why you never have time
To ever be alone with yourself It's the breathing that's believing 'cause it lets you know You're living the good life Today you got paid and the woman said tonight you better come straight back home Well you met all the boys, you had to make the choice after all they couldn't drink alone Now you don't know what's right, and you don't know what's wrong and you're tired There's a hole in your soul, 'cause the last lump of coal's on the fire Chorus
