Capo I Intro: Life was a ball of alcohol and pills and booze and gals Every hunger-over mornin was an unheeded warning that I shared with my lost pals And the music flowed and my chosen road grew wider every day Til the highs got low and my will said no, I can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way Yes the highs got low and my will said no I can't go on that way Sugar is sweet and good prime meat is so hard to come by Sacharin is around again but today it's do or die My baby is home where i belong and this is still my day I'm hangin on and I'm comin on strong and i can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way I'm still hangin on and comin on strong And i can't go on that way Up is down and next time around i ain't goin round again When it comes my time i'm gonna stop at the line and forget where i been Who was it said that alive is dead and night to some is day Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'cause i can't go on that way Can't go that way, can't go that way Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'Cause i can't go on that way
