Living the Dream - Sturgill Simpson

Time and time again Lord

I keep going through the motions

A means to an end

But the ends don't seem to meet

Walking around living the dream anytime

I take the notion

Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet

Ain't no point getting outta bed

If you ain't living the dream

It's like making a big old pot of coffee

When you ain't got no cream

I don't need to change my strings

Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing

I don't have to do a Goddamn thing

Except sit around and wait to die

We're been waiting on an angel waitress to come

And take my order

Tell me all about the special today

Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon

Couldn't be much boarder

Hoping them circles on the paper

Don't call back telling me to start today

That old man upstairs he wears a crooked smile

Staring down at the chaos he created

Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while

Momma's gonna wash it all away

She thinks Mercy's overrated

Ain't no point getting outta bed

If you ain't living the dream

It's like making a big old pot of coffee

When you ain't got no cream

I don't need to change my strings

Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing

I don't have to do a Goddamn thing

Except sit around and wait to die

I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except

Sit around and wait to die
