George Jones - I'm A Survivor lyrics

They say I'm somebody so I try to live up to the name But I'm just not that good at dealin' with fortune and fame I've made mistakes, more than I care to recall But one way or another I always get over the fall. I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues I wrote the book on hard knocks and I've bathed in the blues I've been the feature on the six o'clock news Well, I'm a survivor, dancin' the blues. Sometimes I'd wonder how I've managed to live through it all Yes, I've spent a lifetime of living with my back to the wall The records will show that I've had my share of regrets But as long as I'm breathing you ain't heard the last of me yet. I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues Doing my best with the hand that I drew Just playing the part Lord, I couldn't refuse Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose. Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
