lyrics

Adam always worked in expensive bars
Whenever he was working
I would clear my calendar
He always knew how to change my mood
with 50 dollar tequila and finger foods
The bill would always come with a wink and a nod
and a 10 charge onto my credit card
I’d stumble to my bike
In the dead of night
Hoping to god I make it home alright.

I ain’t dead yet
But not for lack of trying
I’m just too busy living
There’s no time for dying.
There's no place in hell
For a life lived well.
I’ll take that bet
Cause I ain't dead yet.

9 thousand miles in a beat up van
Can really make the 8 of us a better band
but when you aint slept a wink in close to a week
You start to rethink your life’s trajectory
But there is really nothing better
when we’re all up there together
making music for some people
who really wanna hear it
And whatever doesn’t kill us
Will make us more strong
And are always good stories
for a kickass song

We ain’t dead yet
But not for lack of trying
We’re just too busy living
There’s no time for dying.
There's no place in hell
For a life lived well.
I’ll take that bet
Cause We ain't dead yet.

BRIDGE
they say the truth shall set you free
but honestly
the truth never done nothing for me
But as a policy
I find a few strong drinks.
Might not make you say what you want
But you’re gonna say what you mean.

Trying to live long enough that I don’t croak
Spending all the time I got, till I go broke
You never really know when you’ll go up in smoke
It happens sooner than you think when you have a big stroke
It’s hard too find the wording
When your brains isn’t workin
And during
It’s concerning
If it’ll ever be returning
But I’m happy to announce that I am here to say
And on the other side it is a brand new day

I ain’t dead yet
But not for lack of trying
I’m just too busy living
There’s no time for dying.
There's no place in hell
For a life lived well.
I’ll take that bet
Cause I ain't dead yet.
