Cory Morrow - Song Writer's Lament (A Poem) lyrics

Well the doc said, "Son
You gotta quit this life you
Lead before you die" i said, "I can't quit
It's all I know and I can't afford to die
How am I suppose to pay your bill
The I'm six feet in the ground?
Who in the hell is gonna feed my
Dog when I'm no longer 'round?" i said
"Isn't there somethin' you can do doc?
Some kinda pill or remedy?" he said
"I ain't never heard of no drug that works
To keep a man from bein' lazy"
"Lazy? Now just watch it Doc
'cause I work really hard
See from 10PM to 2AM every
Night I play my guitar
Yeah and I drink real hard
And I smoke real hard
And I hardly have time to sleep
Lately I've been eatin' so hard I
Can hardly see my feet"
Well I sat down and I pondered a while
About what that good doc had said
And I thought real quietly
To myself, "You know
Maybe I'd be better off dead now you see
A dead man don't have to worry about the
Police for any warrants he might have out
And I'd no longer have to hide from the
Credit card collectors tryin' to flush me out
Yeah bein' dead would be great
No more smoke filled lungs or bars
No more worryin' 'bout that liver disease I'm
Gonna get from drinkin' too hard"
No more playin' all night long
No more hangovers that last all day
No more meetin' beautiful women
No more rollin' 'round in the hay"

Who wrote that? Who the am I kiddin'?
I don't wanna die
I gotta lot of things left to do
Got a lotta drinkin' and smokin'
Pickin' and grinnin'
And writin' songs for you

Well I wanna live forever
At least as long as I can
I wanna smoke them cigarettes
And feel the burnin' in my lungs man
I wanna drink lots of whiskey
And get drunk and stupid stoned
And I wanna make love to my woman
Feel the passion burn all night long
Lord, don't take me now
You gotta give me a little more time
I got few loose ends down here to tie up
A lotta worries on my mind
And I wanna live forever
'least as long as I can
I wanna smoke them Marlboro Lights
And feel the burnin' in my lungs man
I wanna drink Wild Turkey
And get drunk and stupid stoned
I wanna make love to my Texas woman
Feel the passion burn all night long
Lord, don't take me now
You got to give me a little more time
I gotta few loose ends down here to tie up
A lotta worries on my mind
Oh yeah I gotta few loose ends
Down here to tie up
And Lord you know I can't afford to die
