Life Worth Livin' Lyrics - No Depression - Uncle Tupelo

This song is sung for anyone that's listening 

This song is for the broken-spirited man 

This song is for anyone left standing 

After the strain of a slow, sad end 

It seems everybody wants what someone else has 

There's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask 

With a beer in each hand and a smile in between 

All around's a world grown mean 

We've all had our ups and downs 

It's been mostly down around here 

Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear 

Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin' 

That's why we drink ourselves to sleep 

Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin' 

That's why we pray for our souls to keep 

There's nothing left now but broken pieces 

Of one man's broken will to care 

And in the end before all is said and done 

How many others might follow him there? 

This song is sung for anyone that's listening 

This song is for the broken-spirited man 

This song is for anyone left standing 

After the strain of a slow, sad end 

Midnight is comin' 'round 

Still mostly down around here 

Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear 

Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin' 

That's why we drink ourselves to sleep 

Yeah, we're all looking for a life worth livin' 

That's why we pray for our souls to keep
