Life or Love

(Harley L. Allen - Gary Cotton)



I tried to stay on the straight and narrow

But I've walked a crooked path

And I've felt worthy of forgiveness

And deservin' heaven's wrath

Right on the money and off by a mile

Ahead of my time and way out of style.



Chorus:

But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

I ain't givin' up on life or love.



Well, I try to stay away from the bottle

But I've reached out for the glass

I try to pull back on the throttle

But I still run out of gas

I've been an angel, but never a saint

Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint.



Chorus:

'Cause I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

I ain't givin' up on life or love.



--- Instrumental ---



Yesterday's history, today is a chance

Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans.



Chorus:

To keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

I ain't givin' up on life or love.



I keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough

I ain't givin' up on life or love, life or love...
