Del McCorey sings this, but I live it.
I’D LOVE TO DO SOME LIVING
Well, it was quite a party; it was really getting
started,
But I thought it smart to say my adios.
As good as I was feeling then, I knew the time was
closing in
When I would hear that lonesome whistle blow
I’d love join with everybody howling at the moon,
But Monday morning rolls around; I’m singing a
different tune.
I’d love to do some living but my life gets in the
way,
For a little bit of heaven there would sure be hell to
pay
And I’d spend all tomorrow feeling yesterday. Hey,
I’d love to do some living but my life gets in the way
Well it wasn’t all that long ago, when I’d have been
the last to go
But now you know that I’m the first to pay.
Tell me when did all the thrills turned into a stack
of bill waiting on someone to get ‘em paid.
A pair of shoes, the rent is due, a car that needs new
brakes
Living now, means, tell me how much of one you can
make
Chorus
Sweet temptations got me at this fork here in the
road.
My survival’s down, if I stay or if I go.
I’d love to do some living but my life gets in the
way,
For a little bit of heaven there would sure be hell to
pay
And I’d spend all tomorrow feeling yesterday.
Hey, I’d love to do some living but my life gets in
the way.
