(Hank Cochran)

I'm gonna live just as long as I can
I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand
I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand
I'm gonna live just as long as I can.

Walk the right way is the best way I go
But I tried it and I tried it don't you know
I been good if you think I should constantly
I didn't think you could but you thew the hook right out on me.

So I'm gonna live just as long as I can
I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand
I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand
I'm gonna live just as long as I can.

If you ever change your mind I'll be around
But I'll be high and so maybe hard to get me down
Day by day there was no way of pleasin' you
I thought I was right but the right was the wrong way for you.

So I'm gonna live just as long as I can
I'm gonna roar till it bore me in the sand
I'm a gonna stay stoned just as long as I can stand
I'm gonna live just as long as I can.

Yeah, I'm gonna live just as long as I can...
