Life was a ball of alcohol and pills and booze and gals Every hunger-over mornin was an unheeded warning that I shared with my lost pals And the music flowed and my chosen road grew wider every day
Til the highs got low and my 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 my will said no I can´t go on that way Sugar is sweet and good prime meat is so hard to come by Sacharin is around again but today it´s do or die My baby is home where i belong and this is still my day I´m hangin on and I´m comin on strong and i can´t go on that way Can´t go that way, can´t go that way I´m still hangin on and comin on strong And i can´t go on that way Up is down and next time around i ain´t goin round again
When it comes my time i´m gonna stop at the line and forget where i been Who was it said that alive is dead and night to some is 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
