This Is My Life - Josh Abbott Band

This is my life and these are my friends

We’re a rowdy group of dreamers, drinkers, and has-beens

Playing music that we love, tossing caution to the wind

Yeah, this is my life and these are my friends

Going down the road in a 12-bunk bus

The a/c's out and the vents blow dust

The bathroom’s dirty and the crew ain’t showered in days

It’s brisket for lunch and pizza at night

Load-in, load-out, «good morning,» «good night»

Comin' in hot and leaving in a glory of blaze

This is my life and these are my friends

We’re a rowdy group of dreamers, drinkers, and has-beens

Playing music that we love, tossing caution to the wind

Yeah, this is my life and these are my friends

William’s loud but he’s a good hang

He’s the buddy that you want to bring

To your backyard bbq partying all night long

John’s an eloquent and pensive writer

Turns a simple phrase into something brighter

Pens it with the ease of an old dance hall savant

Cleto’s a poet and we all know it

Worries about the world and tries not to show it

Sings honest words through a soft-spoken Midland drawl

Me, I’m pretty blunt but I’ve got a good heart

I’m feeling blessed and the craziest part

Is tonight the only place I want to be is here with y’all

This is my life and these are my friends

We’re a rowdy group of dreamers, drinkers, and has-beens

Playing music that we love, tossing caution to the wind

Yeah, this is my life and these are my friends

Yeah, this is my life and these are my friends
