I May Smoke Too Much

(Kris Kristofferson)



Once my future was shiny as the seat of my pants are today

Then old Mother Luck and all her daughters started duckin' me

When I finally got tired of just sittin' there watchin' my life slip away

I said I better start takin' all the livin' that's a comin' to me.



Now I love too much, fight too much, stay out late at night too much

But you bet your butt I'm gonna live before I die

And I may smoke too much drink too much every blessed thing too much

It's a lowdown life but it ain't gonna pass me by.

I don't care if the world don't ever hear the sound of my name

Old Mother Luck and all her daughters keep a duckin' me

As long as that cat I gotta look at when I shave ain't ashamed

There ain't no Jody in the world I'd've ever rather be.



And I still love too much, fight too much, stay out late at night too much

But you bet your butt I'm gonna live before I die

And I may smoke too much drink too much every blessed thing too much

It's a lowdown life but it ain't gonna pass me by...
