Way We're Livin

Yeah man, this is how it goes

You'll be workin all night and day

Man, and God only knows

You ain't gettin nowhere anyway



Any money you'll ever make

Yeah down to that last cent

yeah I don't care what you take

Man, cause its already spent



I'm tellin ya if it ain't how it goes

Its sure how it feels

If it ain't the way we're livin

Its sure the way it seems to be



Yeah you know I'm alive

But I sure ain't livin well

My woman's gonna make me cry

And my buddy's gonna tell



Yeah my car worked good

Second Tuesday last week

My jeans got a few holes

But my pocket's got a leak



I'm tellin ya if it ain't how it goes

Its sure how it feels

If it ain't the way we're livin

Its sure the way it seems to be




Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is kind of a bluesy tune i wrote, it's definately not somethin worth anything if you think its poetry...but i ain't no poet y'know...at least, i don't know anything about poetry, i just write things as they come out man, nothin schooled, its just life...
