Livin’ Part of Life Lyrics

[Verse 2]
They say to keep your spot on the ladder
And keep that money rollin' in

They say keepin' up with the Thiles, boy
You can't back off one inch

Well, I been puttin' in my time
And I built up a pretty good deal
I'm gonna spend some, maybe waste some
Before my time comes and I wind up dead


[Chorus]
Yeah, tomorrow I'm takin' me fishin'
Hang a sign on the door of my life
Tell the world that I've gone missin'
And I won't be back for a while
I'm so tired of only wishin'
I could leave my trouble behind
I wanna be front porch rockin'
With a big sun droppin' in a blue sky
Kick back and get high
On the livin' part of life

[Post-Chorus]
(Woohoo)
Yeah
[Bridge]
When I get home tonight
I'll open the window and let whatever roll in
And if there's no breeze, that's cool with me
I'll just raise my sail and wait on the wind, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, tomorrow I'm takin' me fishin'
Hang a sign on the door of my life
Tell the world that I've gone missin'
And I won't be back for a while
I'm so tired of only wishin'
I could leave my trouble behind
I wanna be front porch rockin'
With a big sun droppin' in a blue sky
Kick back and get high
Kick back and get high
On the livin', the livin' a-part of life

[Outro]
Yeah
(That one was ridin') That was cool

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This song is about how people get so involved with what they have to do to provide for their families that they forget the most important parts of life are living and family. You have to take care of yourself and your family before any of the rest of it.

No one on his deathbed ever said, I wish
I had spent more time on my business.“
Paul Tsongas
