Jason Isbell - If It Takes a Lifetime lyrics

[Jason Isbell - If It Takes a Lifetime lyrics]

I've 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 showing up
Hell-bent on growing up
If it takes a lifetime

I'm learning how to be alone
Fall asleep with the TV on
And I fight the urge to
Live inside my telephone
I keep my spirit's 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 working for the county
Keeps me pissin' clear
The nights are dry as dust
But I'm letting my eyes adjust
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

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, oh
I can do it all again if it takes a lifetime

We got too far from our raising and
We fought 'til we went numb
You were running up a mountain
In your own mind
And I thought that I was running
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
