  Many times we've been out drinkin',  Many times we've been out drinkin',
  Many times we've shared our thoughts,  Many times we've shared our thoughts,
1  But did you ever, ever notice the kind of thoughts I got?   But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got? 1
      
  Well, you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know.  Well, you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know.
  And you know I have a drive to live, I won't let go.  And you know I have a drive to live, I won't let go.
2  But can you see this opposition comes risin' up sometimes,   Can      you see this opposition comes risin' up sometimes. 2
3  That its dreadful imposition comes blacking in my mind?   That its dreadful imposition, comes blacking through my mind. 3

  Well, I hope that someday, buddy, we have peace in our lives.  Well, I hope that someday, buddy, we have peace in our lives.
  Together or apart, alone or with our wives.  Together or apart, alone or with our wives.
  And we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside.  And we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside.
  And light it up forever and never go to sleep.  And light it up forever and never go to sleep.
  My best unbeaten brother, this isn't all I see.  My best unbeaten brother, this isn't all I see.
