No more diggin’ graves tonight,
No more secrets left to hide
The worries of the world will have to wait.
Got no more answers left to find,
Just women and whiskey on my mind
Oblivious to future and to fate.
Don’t talk to me of loss and gain
To me it’s all the same.
You gotta breathe in, breathe out – that’s what life is all about
You gotta close your eyes and let the sunlight grace your skin.
You gotta breathe in.
Books of poets tell the tales,
You ain’t the only one who’s failed
If you’ve never failed, it’s because you never tried.
But you gotta learn to wisely choose
The battles that are worth to lose
Instead of getting beat up in every god damn fight.
Tonight, I’ll watch the world go by
Tonight, I’ll drink the old town dry.
You gotta breathe in, breathe out, oh what would life be without
A little infamy and a little sin?
You gotta breathe in.
Expectations might weigh heavy on your heart
Like you don’t know where to start – like you don’t know what to do.
Out of the blue I hear my daddy call me: “Son
You sure ain’t better than no one – but sure as hell no one’s better than you
Here’s what you gotta do:
You gotta breathe out, breathe in – just don’t let the panic win
You gotta close your eyes and when your lungs fill up with doubt.
You gotta breathe out.
See how a little faith lays waste to fear and doubt. You gotta breathe out.
