If It Takes a Lifetime Lyrics

I been working here
Monday it'll be a year
And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
But I keep on showin' up
Hell bent on growing up
If it takes a lifetime

I'm learnin' how to be alone
Fall asleep with the TV on
And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
I keep my spirits high
Find happiness by and by
If it takes a lifetime

I got too far from my raising
I forgot where I come from
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
Well I thought the highway loved me
but she beat me like a drum
My day will come if it takes a lifetime

I don't keep liquor here
Never cared for wine or beer
And workin' for the county keeps me pissin' clear
The nights are dry as dust
But I'm lettin' my eyes adjust
If it takes a lifetime

I got too far from my raisin'
I forgot where I come from
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
Well I thought the highway loved me
But she beat me like a drum
My day will come if it takes a lifetime

Man is the product of
all the people that he ever loved
And it don't make a difference how it ended up
If I loved you once my friend
I can do it all again
If it takes a lifetime

I got too far from my raisin'
and we fought till we went numb
You were running up a mountain in your own mind
And I thought that I was runnning to what I was running from
Oh our day will come if it takes a lifetime

Our day will come if it takes a lifetime
