I like to drink and I like to smoke I like women who like to sin But I've got liver disease and a spot on my lung And a sore on my lip now and then I like it fast and I like it hard I like to stand out on the edge of the hill But my mind has gone slow and my body has gone soft And my balance is losing its will When it's no longer a given That your heart won't quit trying 'Cause the reason it's living Is the reason it's dying This life ain't too forgiving When it's time you are buying And your reasons for living Are the reason you're dying I don't like to sleep and waste my time I like the light to shine on me But I'm getting tired and the time draws near That light, they say will set you free I love to play the game of life I fight its wars like a bar room lord But this machine that I'm playing with I've asked more from than it can afford When it's no longer a given That your heart won't quit trying 'Cause the reason it's living Is the reason it's dying This life ain't too forgiving When it's time you are buying And your reasons for living Are the reason you're dying And your reasons for living Are the reason you're dying
