Jerry Jeff Walker - Lovin' Makes Livin' Worthwhile lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker

I'm just sitting here counting my money

Wondering why I'm in love with you honey

And why everybody is so high strung these days

Price of living here has gone sky high

But guys like me we're always getting by

Babe told me, "A lean dog can run a long race."

CHORUS:

All I know is you gotta keep trying

You gotta laugh now and then to keep from crying

The only sure thing is taxes and dying

And your lovin makes the living worth while

Someday I'm more gone in here

Some days I like to just sit and drink beer.

And some days I can't wait until I get home

All I like to d is play music and golf

The money I make pays the IRS off

Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rolling stone

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Ooh without you I'd have no one to sleep with (++)

Nobody to laugh with late at night

Without you there'd be no light in the window

There'd be no reason to write.

CHORUS

Well I've been sued and screwed and tattooed.

But I"m standing right here in front of you

Telling you that even the best of 'em make a mistake

We're all livin' life day to day

The whole damn world's just feeling it's way

But you can tell them ol' Jerry Jeff said it's OK (ok, ok!)

CHORUS

Makes ya smile, hoo, hoo, hoo
