Lyrics:
[Verse 1] By the looks of everyone, it's been a long two weeks Coming up on the business end of a good luck streak Gave 'em hell in New York City, headed down to New Orleans And drove across Mississippi in the rain It don't seem to freeze to much down in New Orleans But the rain can sure wash out the street We crossed the snow line, man it was just in time They're digging 'em out everywhere north of the Chesapeake [Chorus] And I'm up too damn early in the morning Watching the world around me come alive And I need more fingers to count the ones I love This life may be too good to survive [Verse 2] They cancelled a parade or two for weather The kings and saints, their robes all soaking wet But we were happy just to all be there together Stoned on the porch, smoking all Niki's cigarettes We been riding down this highway, now, for all these years Breathing in the dust along the way But it's the kindness of a friend is what's remembered in the end It is a debt that is a pleasure to repay [Chorus] And it never feels like we're getting any older But the memories build up around the eyes And I need more fingers than I got on my two hands This life may be too good to survive [Bridge] We were dressed to celebrate your wedding day We marched along with the Saint Anne's parade Sang out our hearts while they sent away their dead The sun shone on the river, we begin our lives instead [Chorus] And I'm up too damn early in the morning I can't remember ever feeling so alive And I need more fingers to count the ones I love This life may be too good to survive This life may be too good to survive
