[Verse 1]
I been worDking here, Monday, it'll A7be a year
And I caDn't recall a D/F#day when I didn't wanna disaGppear
But I keep on shoDwing up, hell-bent on groA7wing up
If it takes a lifGetime D A7 D
I'm learning how to bDe alone, fall asleep with the A7TV on
And I fiDght the urge to D/F#live inside my teleGphone
I keep my spiDrits high, find happiness A7by and by
If it takes a lifGetime D A7 D
[Chorus]
I got tGoo far from my raisin', I forDgot where I come from
And the liDne between right and wrong was A7so fine
Well I thoDught the highway lD/F#oved me
But she beGat me like a drDum
My dDay will come, A7if it takes a lifGetime D
D G (x3)
D A7 D
[Verse 2]
I don't keep liqDuor here, never cared for wA7ine or beer
And worDking for the cD/F#ounty keeps me pisGsin' clear
The nights are dDry as dust, but I'm letting my eA7yes adjust
If it takes a lifGetime D A7 D
[Chorus]
I got tGoo far from my raisin', I forDgot where I come from
And the liDne between right and wrong was A7so fine
Well I thoDught the highway lD/F#oved me
But she beGat me like a drDum
My dDay will come, A7if it takes a lifGetime D

Man is a proDduct of all the people that he eA7ver loved
And iDt don't make a dD/EiffeD/F#rence how it enGded up
If I loved you onDce my friend, oh, I can do it aA7ll again
If it takes a lifGetime D A7 D
[Chorus]
We got tGoo far from our raisin' and we fouDght 'til we went numb
You were runDning up a mountain in your oA7wn mind
And I thoDught that I was ruD/F#nning to
But GI was running frDom
Oh, our dDay will come, A7if it takes a lifGetime D
Our dDay will come, A7if it takes a lifGetime
