Alan Jackson
"Life Or Love"

(Harley Allan/Gary Cotton)

I tried to stay on the straight and narrow
But I've walked a crooked path
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness
And deservin' heaven's wrath
Right on the money and off by a mile
Ahead of my time and way out of style

But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love
Well I try to stay away from the bottle
But I've reached out for the glass
I try to pull back on the throttle
But I still run out of gas
I've been an angel, but never a saint
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint

'Cause I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love

Yesterday's history, today is a chance
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans

To keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love
I keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
