One Step Closer To Dead

One Step Closer to Dead

I wish I knew you the way I used to
I'd say roll a joint come sit with me a while
Now you say, “screw you” cause that's all you do
Ever since they told you I was way too wild

Chorus:
I don't know if that's a lie or the truth
But I I had a lot of fun running around with you
Live is for living it's like that poet said
Growing up ain't much fun
If it's one step closer to dead

Do you remember that little black dress
The one I bought you when we lived in Cheraw
I liked to watch you when you wore it
I liked it better when I watched you take it off

Repeat Chorus

Now you're thinking, it’s time for leavin’
Tow the line and tough it out just like your mama did
Look what that got her a ragged old scrapbook
Full of ex-husbands and her sisters' grandkids
