Lyrics

To Survive

These days,
These days weren’t always this good
I didn’t pay my debts like I should
I was scattered and plain lazy
And I’d rather get high
That’s what I… did to survive

In school,
In school there was always a bell
And if you were late
You would surely catch hell
So, I’d skip class, go to Duly’s,
Order a Coney and fries
That’s what I… did to survive

I would miss the bus
Cause I stayed up all night
With the radio to my ear
I’d sneak a beer and hide
That’s what I… did to survive

At night,
At night we’d go walkin’ through the streets
We be singin’ and tappin’ our feet
From every window
You’d hear the music
So we’d step out in time
That’s what I… did to survive

I would miss the bus
Cause I stayed up all night
With the radio to my ear
I’d sneak a beer and hide
That’s what I… did to survive

In the band,
In the band we’d play rock and roll
And those girls would capture my soul
At the breaks when
I felt lonely
There was always one by my side
That’s what I… did to survive

I would miss the bus
Cause I stayed up all night
With the radio to my ear
I’d sneak a beer and hide
That’s what I… did to survive

That’s what I… did to survive
