Longer Than You've Been Alive

We've been doing this longer than you've been alive

Propelled by some mysterious drive

And they still let me do it as weird as that seems

And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams

Infinite hallways in giant hotels

Dressing room looks about as good as it smells

Bottles of whiskey and bottles of beer

There's a bottle of medicine somewhere 'round here

We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars

Honky tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars

Most of our shows were a triumph of rock

Although some nights I might have been checking the clock

I'm only human though I'm super at times

I jump off of risers I should not have climbed

Rock jumps won't kill you till one of 'em does

Well they'll say, "He died doing what he loves"

Although we were all looking for someone who'd last
