Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard Live This Long lyrics

Time flies by
In the blink of an eye
When you get paid for havin' too much fun
Kickin' out the floodlights
Livin' the night life
Like tomorrow ain't never gonna come

Wouldn't change much of nothin'
About this road we've been runnin'
For wild times, wild women, and a song
But we would've taken much better care of ourselves
If we'd've known we was gonna live this long

Whiskey goes down
Like cold spring water
Over rocks, and the close of the day
When you're flying like eagles
Down American highways
You lose a lot of friends along the way

But we just keep on movin'

And rollin' along
Can't look back
We might turn to stone
But we would've taken much better care of ourselves
If we'd've known we was gonna live this long

If we would've known we would live this long
We might have changed things up a bit
We still would've lived out every song
Just maybe not quite as fast as we did

But we're in pretty good shape, Will
For the shape we're in
We'll keep rockin' along, until we're gone
But we would've taken much better care of ourselves
If we'd've known we was gonna live this long
Yeah, we would've taken much better care of ourselves
If we'd've known we was gonna live this long
