Once my future was shiny as the Seat of my pants are today Then old mother luck and all her Daughters started duckin' me When I finally got tired of just sittin' there Watching my life slip away I said I better start takin' all the living That's a-comin' to me [Chorus:] Now I love too much, fight too much Stay out late at night too much But you bet your butt I'm going to Live before I die And I may smoke too much, drink too much Every blessed thing too much It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by I don't care if the world don't ever hear The sound of my name And old mother luck and all her daughters Keep a-duckin' me As long as that cat that I gotta look at when I shave ain't ashamed There ain't no Jody in the world I'd ever rather be. [Chorus:] Now I love too much, fight too much Stay out late at night too much But you bet your butt I'm going to Live before I die And I may smoke too much, drink too much Every blessed thing too much It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by
