[Acoustic Guitar] [Chorus] Ya know you gotta make a livin’ before ya die Do ya think I'll go to heaven to a cloud in the sky Is it good enough to just get by Ya know it’s hard but ya gotta try [Verse] I know there’s no guarantee, no promises I’ve seen too many taken way too soon Many souls gone before their time is done Gone in the blink of an eye way to young [Chorus] Ya know you gotta make a livin’ before ya die Do ya think I’ll go to heaven to a cloud in the sky Is it good enough to just get by Ya know it’s hard but ya gotta try [Verse] Livin’, working, and you don’t know why Church folk praying on Sunday Forgive what they’ll do on Monday Young woman trying to keep her children fed Gotta take care of the dying, and bury the dead [Chorus] Ya know you gotta make a livin’ before ya die Do ya think I’ll go to heaven to a cloud in the sky Is it good enough to just get by Ya know it’s hard but ya gotta try [Verse] People live and people die How many wrongs have you forgave Most of us will barely get by Carry me to my rest, put me in the grave It’s hard to live that much you can’t deny [Chorus] Ya know you gotta make a livin’ before ya die Do ya think I’ll go to heaven to a cloud in the sky Is it good enough to just get by Ya know it’s hard but ya gotta try [Instrumental Outro]
