Days I Shoulda Died

[00:01.70] My momma said I been like this from the time I was born
[00:08.28] Since I was a boy, my drug of choice was more
[00:16.00] If it was a bet or a dare I swear I was your guy
[00:21.93] I did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died
[00:31.02] I've danced with the devil a hundred and too many times
[00:38.41] I've pushed my luck so damn far, so far I'm all right
[00:45.28] I ain't in the grave yet, but no one can say I ain't tried
[00:52.20] And I've chased crazy women
[00:54.75] Made jukebox decisions
[00:56.95] Did most of my livin' on days I shoulda died
[01:04.55] Hey hey what can I say
[01:09.16] All the good stories start the same way
[01:13.88] If you've ever thunk it
[01:16.02] Then I've probably done it
[01:18.22] I'm better off now
[01:20.74] That I settled down
[01:22.69] But I'm nothing without them days that I shoulda died
[01:30.63]
[01:32.68]
[01:45.93] I'm sweeter and wiser, but somewhere in the back of my mind
[01:55.41] There's an old Zippo lighter lookin' for a fuse it can light
[02:02.72] I might not today, but one day you know I just might
[02:08.73] Spark that ol' flame, throw it all away
[02:13.78] For one of them good ol' days I shoulda died
[02:21.47] Hey hey what can I say
[02:25.55] All the good stories start the same way
[02:30.60] If you've ever thunk it
[02:32.24] Then I've probably done it
[02:34.68] I'm better off now
[02:37.07] That I settled down
[02:39.06] But I'm nothing without them days that I shoulda died
[02:46.23] I've chased crazy women
[02:48.45] Made jukebox decisions
[02:50.85] Did most of my livin' on days that I shoulda died
[02:58.91]
