Sittin' up in bed with stage 4 cancer
A chew of tobacco and all the answers
He said girl if you don't learn to breathe
You ain't ever gonna make it as far as me
Daddy I try to do like ya tell me, I hold my own, I love the lonely
I feed the fire, fuel the flame, I live to play another day

I know, ain't no way to go
I know, ain't no way to go

But I got love for you
I got love for you
I got love for you
Don't ya want my love

Everybody's got shit to give
Everybody's got pain to live
This ain't all about feelin'
And you got time that aint worth killin'

Making my living as a lone freelancer
Just to hear my baby sing Tiny Dancer
In the kitchen before breakfast at noon
Then we smoke our way through Harvest Moon
Daddy I try to do like ya tell me and not let people overwhelm me
I feed the fire, fuel the flame, I live to play another day

I know, ain't no way to go
I know, ain't no way to go

But I got love for you
I got love for you
I got love for you
Don't ya want my love

In the mirrors a fadin' romantic
Still drying flowers in her attic
On a staircase dusted with pain
But feeling better everyday

I know, ain't no way to go
I know, ain't no way to go

But I got love for you
I got love for you
I got love for you
Don't ya want my love

Everybody's got shit to give
Everybody's got pain to live
This ain't all about feelin
And you got time that ain't worth killin'
