Johnny Cash - I Can't Go On That Way lyrics

Life was a bottle of alcohol And pills and blues and gals And every hung over mornin' Was an unheeded warnin' That I shared with my lost pals And the music flowed And my chosen road grew wider everyday Till the highs got low and the will said no I can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way Yes, the highs got low and the will said no I can't go on that way Sugar is sweet and good prime meat Is so hard to come by Saccharine is 'round again But today it's do or die My baby is home where I belong And this is still my day I am hangin' on and I am comin' on strong And I can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way I am still hangin' on and comin' on strong And I can't go on that way Earth is down and next time around I ain't goin' round again When it comes my time, I'm gonna stop at a line And forget where I've been Who was it said that a life is dead Like the summer's day Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'Cause I can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'Cause I can't go on that way
