Well I've got an old friend, he's wilder than you are I don't understand how he stays on his feet Just when you're thinking he's gonna go too far He pulls it all in and he don't miss a beat He's walked beside me, he's never denied me If hee had to hide me then by God he would One thing he taught that I carry inside me We all got where we are as fast as we could [CHORUS:] Saints are just sinners who never quit tryin' Losers are winners who pick their own day And we're all just beginners when it comes time for dyin' But rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die anyway Well I heard of this poet, come hell or high water Wrote a new poem a day every day of the week I asked what if some days don't work like they oughta He said I lower my standards and I get me some sleep [CHORUS] So you judges and juries and wild vigilantes If you got my number, my number's been changed Me and my woman gonna lay around this shanty Keep makin' love 'til that's all that remains [CHORUS] Rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die...anyway
