Lyrics
You'll Survive Sharon, Alton, Arthur Corey, Copyright 2000 (C)
1st Verse
Come on Buddy and buy me a beer
As of tonight one more year
Sailed right thru my day dreams, to my past
Lost some old friends and wasted my time
9 to 5 for nickels and dimes
Photographs and paychecks fade so fast
Chorus
Well, I'm here to tell you
Tomorrow gonna get you
One thing you don't count on
Is you'll Survive.......
2nd Verse
I am the child of a US Marine
And a lady with Magazine dreams
They taught me that good guys always win
And I believed that it was true
Roses were red , and violets were blue
John Wayne kept us safe thru thick and thin
Chorus
3rd Verse
So.....let me tell you there was a time
When I always remembered my lines
Each day looked like brand new Sunday Shoes
Can't quite figure, where losen begins
Still not sure that anyone wins
We all pay our human Union dues.............
Chorus
