I've tried livin' it risky
Relied on women and whiskey
To chase my blues, turn my nights to days
First rage only a pastime
With age more than a lifetime
Of day in, day out the world just turns away.

Chorus:
Everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait
For all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong
You live and learn.

I've stopped lookin' for questions
I've got only suggestions
Black and white can only turn to grey
In time we're all gonna find out
Our times all gonna wind out
And just count down until judgement day.

Chorus:
Everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait
For all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong
You live and learn.

You live and learn...
