Verse
I took the train down to the kokamo woods
Thought a break from my baby might some good
B Section
Only cafe in town the waitress brought me a cup'
Silver haired lady said I looked pretty rough and she said
Chorus
You can't give up I know life's tough
And you can only take so much
A litlle faith goes a long way
You have to live life day by day live life day by day
Verse
We sat and talked all afternoon
Talked of love and silly cartoons
B Section
She said it's the little things that get her through
Mountians trees the sunrise and a full moon
B/Bridge Section
I couldn't wait to get back home
So I called my honey & said listen as I cried over the phone and I said
Chorus
We can't give up I know life's tough
And we can only take so much
A little faith goes a long way
We have to live life day by day (intro lick going on this whole time)
live life day by day
you got to live life day be day
