I Don't Have to Live This Way

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Lonely Runs Both Ways [Rounder] [2004]

I've been up and down the floor

Sleep won't hold me anymore

I'm running out of games to play

I don't have to live this way.



Thought I loved you for a while

You were loaded up on style

Talk is cheap but I won't pay

I don't have to live this way.



No I won't pay for games that you devise

I won't wait and listen to your lies

Before you speak another word

I'll repeat it so I'm heard

Running out of games to play

I don't have to live this way.



You won't stay another night

Or give your wrong another right

Now I've got the eyes to see

You get your kicks by hurting me.



No I won't pay for games that you devise

I won't wait and listen to your lies

Before you speak another word

I'll repeat it so I'm heard

Running out of games to play

I don't have to live this way.
