Wade Bowen – In The Next Life lyrics

[Verse 1]
After one night in San Marcos, some 15 years ago
We had us a hell raisin' time, we took it on the road
Broke and damn near homeless, lost and stumblin' around
But I think that when you struggle, that’s when you find your sound

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen love come and go
Lost some friends along the way
Had nobody at our shows
And the nights we didn’t get paid
There’s been bar tabs and B. S
Choices, good and bad
But it’s all part of the story
And the damn good luck we’ve had

[Chorus]
Well we’re not sure how we got here
But somehow we stuck around
Some days I feel like we can fly
And some days I think we’ll drown
I guess what they say is true
All you need is one good friend
And in the next life, we wanna be ourselves again

[Verse 3]
Buddy what was it like to play the opry?
Hell, you tell me man, you’ve been there
You know I had to have a few drinks of courage
Yeah, me too, I was nervous as hell
And remember the Houston Rodeo
The time I opened up for The King
Yeah, man we made some damn fine memories
I know it’s hard to believe

[Chorus]
Well we’re not sure how we got here
But somehow we stuck around
Some days I feel like we can fly
And some days I think we’ll drown
I guess what they say is true
All you need is one good friend
And in the next life, we wanna be ourselves again

[Bridge]
My daddy is a hell raisin, good timing man
I was born the son of a preacher singing all those hymns
Got a little of both mixed up somewhere in these songs
But right or wrong, I know they’re proud of what we have become

[Chorus]
Well we’re not sure how we got here
But somehow we stuck around
Some days I feel like we can fly
And some days I think we’ll drown
I guess what they say is true
All you need is one good friend
And in the next life, we wanna be ourselves again
