Life was a ball of alcohol and pills and booze and gals
Every hunger-over mornin was an unheeded warning that I shared with my lost pals
And the music flowed and my chosen road grew wider every day
Til the highs got low and my will said no, I can't go on that way
Can't go that way, can't go that way
Yes the highs got low and my will said no
I can't go on that way
Sugar is sweet and good prime meat is so hard to come by
Sacharin is around again but today it's do or die
My baby is home where I belong and this is still my day
I'm hangin on and I'm comin on strong and I can't go on that way
Can't go that way, can't go that way
I'm still hangin on and comin on strong
And I can't go on that way
Up is down and next time around I ain't goin round again
When it comes my time i'm gonna stop at the line and forget where I been
Who was it said that alive is dead and night to some is day
Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'cause I can't go on that way
Can't go that way, can't go that way
Just let her go and let a new wind blow
'Cause I can't go on that way
