I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer every day
While I'm getting older
And getting over what I was today
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to my dying day
God help me sober
I'm getting over what I was yesterday
Too many years I spent
Every day in the struggle, yeah
I wish I could feel what could be a normal life with a house and a wife
But that just ain't me, no
Gotta get by doing my time doing things I love with the ones I trust
Who told you to fall in love and to fall in line, that you're out of time
There's more than "the meaning of life"
There's a meaning of mine and that's just fine
Be bolder, soldier clear your shoulders
That's no way to live
You will regret it by when you're all said and done with it
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer every day
While I'm getting older
And getting over what I was today
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to my dying day
God help me sober
I'm getting over what I was yesterday
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer every day
While I'm getting older
And getting over what I was today
