high wide & handsome

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

high wide and handsome - that's how i like livin'

high wide and handsome - that's how life should be

low skinny and ugly - that's for other people

high wide and handsome suits me to a tee

song

wine

and women - they're my three favorites

beer

gin

and whiskey - that's five

six

and four

saturday night i like eatin' and dancin'

and i sleep all day sunday so's i'm ready for more

high wide and handsome - you can't take it with you

high wide and handsome - that's one way to go

let's live it up - might as well

we're all dying

high wide and handsome - let's put on a show

can't quit what will kill me

so why even bother'

i love this hard livin'

so why even try'

i'll be high wide and handsome when i kick the bucket

i'll be high wide and handsome on the day that i die

high wide and handsome - you can call it my motto

high wide and handsome - call it my creed

money's just paper

liquor's thicker than water

high wide and handsome in thought

word

and deed

have high wide and handsome carved on my head stone

with the date i was born plus the date that i died

then take one from the other - all that's left is a number

just remember i laughed twice as hard as i cried

high wide and handsome - that's how i like livin'

high wide and handsome - that's how life should be

low skinny and ugly - that's for other people

high wide and handsome suits me to a tee
