that same country song

"if i ain't sinkin'
i must be swimmin'.
if i ain't dyin'
i must be livin'.
and livin' is the thing
that bothers me most."
i'll give that a toast.

words from a song
on my old radio.
come on Life
let's doe-si-doe.
'cause don't ya' know...

Life is a struggle.
always a juggle.
three balls in the air
as long as we're there.

sometimes the questions
don't have a "why?".
sometimes the answers
are only a sigh.
sometimes the answer
is simply "good-bye".

each day with the race
we still try to run.
each day with this pace
it ain't no fun.
still each day
we wait for the sun.

and Life will still go on
long after we're gone.
the singer'll keep singin'
that old country song.



(don't know the singer, the author or the song...but give credit where credit is do."
