(Hank Cochran)



I'm gonna live just as long as I can

I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand

I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand

I'm gonna live just as long as I can.



Walk the right way is the best way I go

But I tried it and I tried it don't you know

I been good if you think I should constantly

I didn't think you could but you thew the hook right out on me.



So I'm gonna live just as long as I can

I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand

I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand

I'm gonna live just as long as I can.

If you ever change your mind I'll be around

But I'll be high and so maybe hard to get me down

Day by day there was no way of pleasin' you

I thought I was right but the right was the wrong way for you.



So I'm gonna live just as long as I can

I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand

I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand

I'm gonna live just as long as I can.



Yeah, I'm gonna live just as long as I can...
