The Other Life by Shooter Jennings Lyrics

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
You touch me
And this life is all that I need

But heaven was just an illusion
One hell of a bitter conclusion
To this life with you

So I stay up 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 seat 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 this pictures that life would fame
There ain't us all I would not chain
For one minute with you

So I stay up 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

So I stay up 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
