Life of Misery

There was a time in my life, when I was a gambler
Did not know wrong from right, love was a stranger
Well I thought I could take all the world, nothing else mattered
Then I woke up and found out the truth, my dreams had been shattered

I would never take that load again, it treated me unkind
All I wanna do is live today, cause today I'm feelin' fine

Can't you see I've had enough? I won't live a life of misery
When it's getting pretty rough, I won't live a life of misery

When I look back, oh what a cold chill, I was a fool then
I almost died, what a big thrill, why did it happen?
A lone boy in a man's world, playin' with fire
But I got burned in a big way, I'm not no liar

I would never take that road again, it treated me unkind
All I wanna do is live today, cause today I'm feelin' fine

Can't you see I've had enough? I won't live a life of misery
When it's getting pretty rough, I won't live a life of misery

There was a time in my life, when I was a gambler
Did not know wrong from right, love was a stranger
Well I thought I could take on the world, nothing else mattered
Then I woke up and found out the truth, my dreams had been shattered

I would never take that road again, that treated me unkind
All I wanna do is live today, cause today I'm feelin' fine

Can't you see I've had enough? I won't live a life of misery
When it's getting pretty rough, I won't live a life of misery
