LivinWithin My Means lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Livin Within My Means lyrics Well, I was a poor boy Just a-kickin around Eighteen, with a head full a dreams Took some money back then Did a year in the pen For not livin within my means I worked ev ry day I did my time the hard way I walked out a that place feelin clean I got a job, a guitar I bought an old beat-up car Started livin within my means Fell in love with a beautiful lady, of sorts But she was ruthless, restless, and mean She left me one day And now I ve had to pay For not lovin within my means Then I took to drinkin To drive her from my mind And it helps me forget her, it seems I just drink now and then Only now I m drunk again For not drinkin within my means Now I know that I m dyin But I don t worry none Cause I know my soul He ll redeem But what bothers me Unless they bury me free Is I won t even die within my means But when the dyin s all over An I come back again Say "to hell" with self-pride and esteem I ll get born in my teens An I ll stick to my dreams Try dreamin within my means song lyrics
