[Verse 1]
Well I looked in the sky today
Didn't see a single plane
All my life there's been streaks through the sky
Yeah I looked in the sky today

[Verse 2]
Well I called papaw today
He never has much to say
He knows sayin' a little less makes your words mean more
Yeah I called papaw today

[Chorus]
Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singin' songs
Passin' time 'till I die
Enjoyin' simple things
Stayin' half way sanе
Just another day in the life

[Verse 3]
I wеnt back in the holler today
Yeah ole Phil gave us early Spring
I let the birds sing cause they're better than me
I went back in the holler today
[Verse 4]
Well I wet a line today
Didn't catch a damn thing
But you know a bad day of fishin' beats the hell out of workin'
Yeah I wet a line today

[Chorus]
Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singin' songs
Passin' time 'till I die
Enjoyin' simple things
Stayin' half way sane
Just another day in the life

[Verse 5]
We ate as a family
It's been a long time since we
Sat down at the table and bowed our heads
Yeah we ate as a family

[Verse 6]
Well I'll fly with the birds one day
Yeah one day I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
Glory I'll fly away
[Chorus]
Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singin' songs
Passin' time 'till we die
Enjoyin' simple things
Stayin' half way sane
Just another day in the life
