What A Way To Live

Willie Nelson · I Let My Mind Wander: Best Of [2011]

Each night I make the rounds

To every spot in town

A lonely man with lonely time to kill

what a way to live.

The paths my memories take

Just make my poor heart ache

I think of her I guess I always will

what a way to live.

I'd rather lay me down tonight

And never wake again

Than to face another day

the shape my life is in

The jukebox playing loud



A face among the crowd

So much like hers it makes my heart stand still

what a way to live.

I'd rather lay me down tonight

And never wake again

Than to face another day

the shape my life is in

The jukebox playing loud

A face among the crowd

So much like hers

it makes my heart stand still

what a way to live.
