Lovin' Makes Livin' Worthwhile Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

I'm just sitting here counting my money 

Wondering why I'm in love with you honey 

And why everybody is so high strung these days 

Price of living here has gone sky high 

But guys like me we're always getting by 

Babe told me, "A lean dog can run a long race." 

CHORUS: 

All I know is you gotta keep trying 

You gotta laugh now and then to keep from crying 

The only sure thing is taxes and dying 

And your lovin makes the living worth while 

Someday I'm more gone in here 

Some days I like to just sit and drink beer. 

And some days I can't wait until I get home 

All I like to d is play music and golf 

The money I make pays the IRS off 

Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rolling stone 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 

Ooh without you I'd have no one to sleep with (++) 

Nobody to laugh with late at night 

Without you there'd be no light in the window 

There'd be no reason to write. 

CHORUS 

Well I've been sued and screwed and tattooed. 

But I"m standing right here in front of you 

Telling you that even the best of 'em make a mistake 

We're all livin' life day to day 

The whole damn world's just feeling it's way 

But you can tell them ol' Jerry Jeff said it's OK (ok, ok!) 

CHORUS 

Makes ya smile, hoo, hoo, hoo
