on this side of life

one thing is for certain

nothing is for certain

and learnin' that has certainly served me well

and that old devil on my shoulder

he's gettin' a whole lot older

and we're both too damn tired for raisin' hell

i used to wake up every mornin'

just lookin' for a fight

but now i wake up every mornin'

just glad to be alive

on this side of life

i don't worry 'bout much

'cause i know what's waitin' up ahead

and there's no need to rush

on this side of life

i make sure i make time

for the mighty lord

my family

and a good bottle of wine

back in my younger days

i'd've got right up in your face

if you flipped me off

or just rubbed me the wrong way

yeah i'd give you a real good cussin'

usually over nothin'

but today

i just ain't got the time to waste

because the things in life worth fightin' for

i can count 'em on one hand

but now all i wanna do is hold 'em close

and never fight again

on this side of life

i don't worry 'bout much

'cause i know what's waitin' up ahead

and there's no need to rush

on this side of life

i make sure i make time

for the mighty lord

my family

and a good bottle of wine

on this side of life

i don't worry 'bout much

'cause i know what's waitin' up ahead

and there's no need to rush

on this side of life

i make sure i make time

for the mighty lord

my family

and a good bottle of wine

yeah

the mighty lord

my family

and a good bottle of wine
