Philoblues In G Seventh
Still wet behind the ears
still playing the fool
For God sakes you better wake yourself up
and for a change do something cool
You can do it for money
You can do it for love
for your brothers and your sisters
and the good Lord above
I'm learnin the hard way
don't ask me why
If you don't do a little livin while you're livin
You might as well lay right down and die
lay right down and die
sometimes it seems so silly
I don't know where to begin
what difference does it make
what kind a dirt you're lyin in
You make your money, you play your games
but when you deal your last card
don't it all turn out the same
I'm learnin the hard way
Don't ask me why
If you don't do a little livin while you're livin
You might as well lay right down and die
lay right down and die
