Life is short
In spite of your plans
So, tell the girls they're pretty while you can
One day they're gone
And all you got left is
Some empty bottles and an old country song
That plays on and on

I wasted my time with these cigarettes
And these ashes all i've got left
Wash this old town
Nothings left for me
Washed down stream into the sea
This big ol' river will kill us in time
'til then we'll drink it's weight
In cheap beer and wine
We can drink just as fast as the river is strong
And we'll drink 'til we're gone
We'll drink 'til we're gone

Life is short
Inspite of your plans
So, tell the girls they're pretty while you can
One day they're gone
And all you got left is s
Ome empty bottles and an old country song
This big ol' river will kill us in time
'til then we'll drink it's weight
In cheap beer and wine
We can drink just as fast as the river is strong
And we'll drink 'til we're gone
We'll drink 'til we're gone
