A Life Worth Living
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.
To know how to live a life worth living
Take the story of Maimie Ruth
Who together with James Daryl
Four generations just like me and you
No doubt that they would make it
With the love only the world can hold
And despite all of the odds against us
Harder for the world to let her go
Don't want to let go
Oh, the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
Feel the pain in losing Maimie
Started out in small town Louisiana
Getting married before seventeen
After waiting on her daddy's promise
Promise turned into a daddy's dream
The years filled up with blessings
And the family branches grew
Oh, Maime, yeah, Daryl's love was light come shining through
Oh, the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
Feel the pain in losing Maimie
Old Isaac's rain was nothing
If you could feel that family's grief
And if dying's just like living
It was Maimie who took the lead
To live a life worth living
Oh, the way it rained the day they came for Maimie
With a love so strong that it took a hurricane
To try to wash away the pain of Maimie's family
As if they could, as if they would
