"The Other Life" lyrics - SHOOTER JENNINGS

This life is a dream
When I wake up I see your face smiling over at me
And you tell me that you love me
And I light up when you touch me
And this life is all that I need
But heaven was just illusion
One hell of a better conclusion
To this life with you

So I stay out late at night
Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar
And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar
Unrehearsed, dying of thirst
And cursed with the other life

And sometimes I sit and look at old pictures
And air another unanswered prayer
But I won't look too long 'cause I'm just not that strong
So I pretend for a moment you still care
And like these pictures that life would fame
There ain't a song that I would not trade
For one minute with you

So I stay out late at night
Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar
And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar
Unrehearsed, dying of thirst
And cursed with the other life
Yeah, the other life

So I stay out late at night
Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar
And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar
Unrehearsed, dying of thirst
And cursed with the other life
Oh, the other life
With the other life
