A lot of my friends were over here
We really had a time
We smoked a lot of cigarettes
And drank a lot of wine
And I couldn't see them to the door
But I guess they didn't mind
I just do what I must to keep going
But it's starting to take more all the time
Now my days drag on much longer
So the nights seem shortened down
I spend a lot of time these days
Drinking in the town
And I ask about the friends I knew
Who I just can't seem to find
I do what I must to keep going
But it's starting to take more all the time
I had a love but she left me
I had a house that's been sold
I sometimes work for a dollar
To stay out of the cold
I'm afraid for my life that has started
Because there's nothing else I can find
I just do what I must to keep going
But it's starting to take more all the time
