Many men have self-affliction, very few know inspiration
I was in the former class, I'd seen how love had beat my ass
Then I looked what life would be like, I saw what lied ahead of me
And I knew I'd have to change if I would last
A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like
I'd be broken hearted till I'd dedicate my life
To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I've had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times
Through the years I've seen some hard times, truth be told I've lived a good life
Always with a friend around, breaking bread or laying down
But the years brought resignation, through the lens of indignation
I had seen enough to leave behind
A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like
I'd be broken hearted till I dedicate my life
To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I've had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times.
A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like

To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I've had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times-
Lord we had the best of times.
Nothing wrong with a bush or three just to bed down for the night
Steady living never was my cup of tea, you can't keep me satisfied
Finger-linking, caught me dipping in the grease, ain't no sin in going down
Well you'd eat it too if you had it hanging 'round
And never will I let another come again between me and my friend the bottle
Cause I'm getting older but the girls stay young and wild
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm high on life routing in the lost and found
And won't you join me as I bid adeau to being nagged, chained, and bound
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm doing fine Just taking in the sites
Cause I'm headed up for the other side of life
People say there'll be bills to pay but for now I'm worry free
Can't stand around and think about my better days its the future that I seek
The wolf is knocking hear him talking bout the ways you can keep a good man down
You'd be a fool if you kept on hanging 'round
And never will I let another come again between me and my friend the bottle
Cause I'm getting older but the girls stay young and wild
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm high on life routing in the lost and found
And won't you join me as I bid adeau to being nagged, chained, and bound
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm doing fine just taking in the sites
Cause I'm headed up for the other side of life
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm high on life in the lost and found
And won't you join me as I bid adeau to being nagged, chained, and bound
Yabbadabbado that's right I'm doing fine just taking in the sites
Cause I let her up on the other side of life
Cause I'm headed up for the other side of life
