Lyrics

"Can't Live it Down"

VERSE1
Well I dug myself a hole
When that whiskey took control
And I was dancing' down the road
With my two left feet

Much to my surprise
I had gone and caught the eye
Of a pretty little blonde
The County Deputy

She liked my show so much
She stole the keys to my truck
And tossed me in the back of her car
I thought everything was so cool
'Til I saw that red and blue
Figured we weren't headin' to the bar


CHORUS
If you can't live it down
You might as well live it up
A little too late now to hide, so go on give it up
No need to do the walk of shame,
'Cause you ran out of luck
So, if you can't live it down
You might as well live it up

VERSE2
Apparently I had forgot about the whole mugshot
That's plastered on the page of Sunday's paper
Was late to church, it all got worse, I promise I did not rehearse
I interrupted pastor Douglas' prayer

If eyes could readjust my size,
I'd be smaller than half a dime
Whispers flying' round like the birds and bees
A pin could drop, and the earth could stop, Jesus could be on the mountaintop
But everybody's eyes were still on me




BRIDGE
Now we've all done stupid stuff
That makes life kinda rough
So why not take it like we're tough
And live it up, live it up, live it up....
