She called from Houston
Hotel, new tattoo and boots
Staring at the ceiling
Wondering why we choose the things we choose
And I said, "Hey there darling,
You know I've thought the same thing too.
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If you win or lose.”
She said, "Where did we go wrong?
Where did we make the fatal step?"
"Somewhere between I do
And promises unkept."
There was a moment of silence
And then a laugh
"Ain't no looking back,
Ain't no second chance."
So I'll shoot ‘em while I've got ‘em
Give it all ‘til I'm dead
Though there's storm clouds arising
And lightning flashing ahead
And I'll keep on driving
Over every mile of this land
All of this living
Sure can be hard on a man
Well it's snowing here in Denver
But I've got whiskey in my hand
And I'm staring out the window
Wondering where the hell I've been
And every time I think of her
It's almost more than I can stand
All of this living
Sure can be hard on a man
So I'll shoot ‘em while I've got ‘em
Give it all ‘til I'm dead
Though there's storm clouds arising
And lightning flashing ahead
And I'll keep on driving
Over every mile of this land
All of this living
Sure can be hard on a man
