*CHORUS: *AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER *IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING. *EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER *SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING… *SURRENDER. *OR DIE TRYING.
Verse 1 Don’t know if it was the freedom Or something I was running from But when the highway called I drove into the setting sun. I was 18, the world so big Full of life and things to see. Now, on the south side of 50 It’s like the walls are closing in on me.
Verse 2 Coast to coast, I chased my dreams Never felt I could catch them. I couldn’t see the good ol’ days ‘til they were already at an end.
PreChorus I guess that’s the curse of wanting. Never satisfied in what we have dropping little treasures on the way Til there’s nothing left to grab…
*CHORUS: *AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER *IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING. *EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER *SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING… *SURRENDER. *OR DIE TRYING.
< Pedal Steel SOLO >
These days the roads stopped rolling And my hands shake in the evening. I’m tired, worn thin, the bruises showing.
/PreChorus

*CHORUS: *AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER *IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING. *EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER *SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING… *SURRENDER.
