In the Next Life

[Verse 1] After one night in San marcos Some 15 Years Ago We had us a hell rasiing time So we took it on the road Broke and damn near homeless Lost and stumbling around But I think that when you struggle That’s when you find your sound [Verse 2] I’ve seen love come and go Lost some friends along the way Had nobody at our shows And the nights we didn’t get paid There’s been bar tabs and b.s Choices, good and bad But it’s all part of the story and the damn good luck we’ve had [Chorus] Well we’re not sure how we got here But somehow we stuck around Some days I feel like we can fly And some days I think we’ll drown I guess what they say is true All you need is one good friend And in the next life, we wanna be ourselves again [Verse 3] Buddy what was it like to play the opry? Hell, you tell me man, you’ve been there You know I had to have a few drinks of courage Yeah, me too, I was nervous as hell And remember the Houston Rodeo The time I opened up for The King Yeah, man we made some damn fine memories I know it’s hard to believe [Chorus] [Bridge] My daddy is a hell raisin, good timing man I was born the son of a preacher singing all those hymns Got a little of both mixed up somewhere in these songs But right or wrong, I know they’re proud of what we have become [Chorus]
