Life or Love
Navigating Life's Crooked Paths: Alan Jackson's Reflections
Lyrics
I tried to stay on the straight and narrow
I attempted to adhere to a morally upright path
But I've walked a crooked path
Despite my efforts, I have followed a morally questionable route
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness
I have felt deserving of forgiveness
And deservin' heaven's wrath
Recognizing that I merit both forgiveness and divine punishment
Right on the money and off by a mile
Being accurate and then making significant errors
Ahead of my time and way out of style
Being ahead of my time but not conforming to current trends
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
Despite challenges, I remain resilient and determined
I ain't givin' up on life or love
I am not giving up on the pursuit of both life and love
Well I try to stay away from the bottle
I make an effort to avoid excessive drinking
But I've reached out for the glass
Yet, at times, I succumb to the temptation of alcohol
I try to pull back on the throttle
I try to control my actions, but sometimes I lose control
But I still run out of gas
Despite efforts, I find myself running out of energy or motivation
I've been an angel, but never a saint
I have displayed goodness, though I am not without flaws
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint
I have associated with negativity, but it hasn't discouraged others
Cause I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
Remaining strong and resolute, not giving in to challenges
I ain't givin' up on life or love
I am determined not to abandon the pursuit of life or love
Yesterday's history, today is a chance
The past is behind me, and today offers new opportunities
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans
Embracing the unknown future and making plans for it
To keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
Continuing to endure challenges, not ready to give up
I ain't givin' up on life or love
Committing to the pursuit of both life and love
I keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
Persisting in resilience, not feeling satisfied or complete
I ain't givin' up on life or love, life or love
Remaining steadfast in the pursuit of life or love
