There Must Be Another Way to Live

(Mel Tillis)



The streets of the city is your kingdom

The crowded honky tonks you're living room

And from this way of life you'll find no freedom

Just loneliness and ever ending gloom.



I can't lose this memory you gave me

For to the honky tonks your life you slowly give

Yet, I still find myself thinking of you

Oh, there must be another way to live.

Yes, there must be another way to live.



I never thought that I would end up lonely

The love you gave was far from being blue

But in your heart was one love you loved only

When she came back I lost the love I knew.



Oh, there must be another way to live.

Yes, there must be another way to live...
