I can make it for a day or two without you
And maybe I can make it through the night
I can smoke I can drink and probably be alright until morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

I've got things that I can do
I've got places I can go to this evening
I've got whiskey I can drink
That'll help me not to think about you leaving
Yes I can smoke and I can drink
Probably be alright till morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

I've got things that I can do
I've got places I can go to this evening
I've got whiskey I can drink
That'll help me not to think about you leaving
Yes I can smoke and I can drink
Probably be alright till morning
But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.

But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life...
