Breathe Under Dirt

Breathe Under Dirt
(Carroll, Gladstone)

I woke up in a drunken haze
Been fightin' the world
Most of my days
But it's wasted ink
On the gossip page
That it'll be the death of me
A tramp passed out on a railroad track
Was the latest headline
But I came back
It ain't a matter of time
It's a matter of fact
I'm a miracle to see

Chorus

I'm way over my head
In whiskey, wine, and women
And I should be dead
With the way I've been livin'
But I just wanna ride
This life for all it's worth
I ain't afraid to die
Cause I can breathe under dirt
I can breathe under dirt
I can breathe under dirt

Showed up at Sunday service late
Sin in my breath, a smile on my face
Heard the preacher whisper what's he doing here
He can never be saved

Chorus

I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe,
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe,
I can breathe under dirt

Bridge

Mama used to tell me
The devil's gonna get me
But Jesus he could save me
From going down
Not a day goes by, I don't look to the sky
Thank the man I'm still around

Chorus

I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe,
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe,
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe,
I can breathe under dirt
