I have been working here, Monday it'll be a year.
And I can't recall a day when I didn't want to disappear
but I keep up showing up, hell bent on growing up,
if it takes a lifetime.
I am learning how to be alone. I fall asleep with the TV on.
I fight the urge to live inside my telephone.
I keep my spirits high. Find happiness by and by.
If it takes a lifetime.
I got to far from my raising. I forgot where I come from.
And the line between right and wrong was so fine.
I thought the highway loved me but she beat me like a drum.
My day will come. If it takes a lifetime.
I don't keep liquor here, never cared for wine or beer.
And working for the county keeps me p****** clear.
The nights are dry as dust,
but I am letting my eyes adjust,
If it takes a lifetime.
(Refrain)
A man is the product of all the people he ever loved.
It don't make a difference how it ended up.
If I loved you once, my friend, I can go it all again,
If it takes a lifetime.
We got to far from raising and we forgot till we went numb.
You were running up a mountain in your own mind.
And I thought I was running too, but I was running from.
Our day will come, if it takes a lifetime.
The opening song, If It Takes A Lifetime, characterizes acceptance that the partying days of your youth are gone and now it's about just living your own life. "I don't keep liquor here/never cared for wine or beer/working for the county/keeps me p****** clear."
