The days pass like a fast train
That speeds into the endless night
There are dreams I'll never see
But it don't bother me
Babe, honestly, it's alright
I just wanna wake up in the morning
Have you by my side
Watch the sun light up the sky
With my lovely bride
I wanna walk the straight and narrow
Give heaven my best shot
Tell my angel just how much I love her

And the life I got
I've been lost at sea a long long time
Now all my sins have washed ashore
Trying hard as I can to be the kind of man
You've quietly been praying for
I just wanna wake up in the morning
Have you by my side

Watch the sun light up the sky
With my lovely bride
I wanna walk the straight and narrow
Give heaven my best shot
Tell my angel just how much I love her

And the life I got
I'm all done chasing dreams
That never stood a prayer
Living for the sweet by and by
I can't right every wrong
But by God I swear I can try
I wanna walk the straight and narrow
Ride out the clock

Being high on livin'
So grateful I was given
The life I got
