Give it up to the lord above
Thanks to this life I'm living
and the music that I play
One more time just for my baby
living the proof of why I pray now
I've been livin' on the bus,
Walkin' around with a suitcase
Rackin' up frequent fly miles
more than any man could use
Payin' off every cell phone bill,
still I get them talkin' blues
Don't get me wrong, I love life
I love the music and my friends
That the man that's keepin' score
Is gonna shine his light upon me
When the workday's runnin' in
Give it up to the lonesome
After this life I'm living
One more time just for my baby
Is it another night in heaven,
Two hundred miles to the next show,
but I guess it's just as well
Cause people say in the world today
that life is pretty tough
I do declare, if you must compare,
we all get handled pretty rough
Don't get me wrong, I love the life
I love the music and my friends
And there's nothin' I like
that the man that's keepin' score
Has got a shiny light on him
when the workday's at an end
Give it up to the Lord above
And to this life I'm living
and the music that I play
One more time just for my baby,
Now praise to the whiskey,
Give it up to the Lord above
I'm livin' in mu sic that I play
One more time just for my baby
Livin' through what I play
Give it up to the Lord above
I'm livin' in music that I play
One more time just for my baby
Livin' through what I play
