The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Laid back and wasted driven to drinking a woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it I'll live without it I'll give you the blues
I spent a lifetime looking for the answers somewhere in search of my soul
I lost it in Nashville I found it in Austin I sold it in New Mexico
Ten thousand miles of road dust can't cover the scars that I put on my arm
And the bridges I'm burning will never erase the scars that they've put on my heart
Dying looks easy drifting gets harder I don't know which one to choose
Don't ever doubt it I'll live without it I'll give you the blues
[ steel + guitar ]
Laid back and wasted driven to drinking a woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it I'll live without it I'll give you the blues
Don't ever doubt it I'll live without it I'll give you the blues
