Lifers

from Red Rocks Live by Cody Jinks

/

lyrics

He wakes with the chickens in the Waco sun
Got mouths to feed and cattle to run
Same as his daddy and his daddy done
It’s all he’s ever known
In this modern world moving break-neck fast
He’s a dying breed, a thing of the past
He’ll be damned if he don’t hit back
When you stand in his way
When there’s nothing more to say

So here’s to the Lifers, the struggling strifers working long after the day is done
Here’s to the throwbacks, the cowboys in old hats
Last of the great generation it seems
They still dream

She’s a renaissance girl with a fire in her soul
She’s got a pocket full of nothing
Nobody tells her no
She flew into town twenty years ago with a guitar and a song
She’s been playin them rooms but she ain’t got far
Been livin’ off tips in them broadway bars
She’s a troubadour queen
Time left its mark
The scene has passed her by
In a world that’s passed her by

So here’s to the Lifers, the struggling strifers working long after the day is done
Here’s to the throwbacks, the cowboys in old hats
The last of the great generation it seems
They still dream

No they don’t give up and they don’t give in when things don’t go their way
Yeah we’re getting knocked down and we’re getting back up
Live to die another day

So here’s to the Lifers, the struggling strifers working long after the day is done
Here’s to the throwbacks, the cowboys in old hats
The last of the great generation it seems
They still dream
