Getting Through Life
Some kind of mish mash of all stuff on the new country radio station I've been listening to, wanted to writing a song that was mostly chorus with some words in between just to extend it. Ended up a lot shorter than expected and could use an extra 2nd verse + chorus I think.
I was two years from living on my own
Couldn't wait to show the world how I'd grown
Told my buddies we were never coming back gonna catch those dreams gonna make that cash
Thought we'd take the world for all that it'd give
after all we were just young dumb kids
Even though we didn't bring home the bank, got gas in the tank and I gotta give thanks to
CHORUS
The little things that get us through life like a
Cold drink sippin by the porch light got a
fresh pack and it's smellin so nice like
yeah, we're getting through life
clocked out and I'm headed home fast with the
windows down and the speakers on blastin'
A pretty woman sittin' by my side laughing,
yeah, we're getting through life
yeah, we're getting through life
(should add verse chorus)
And when the wrench hit the plan
and I've given it all that I can
Won't give up I know that I'll make it, this feeling can't shake it, and I'll always be grateful for
CHORUS
The little things that get us through life like a
Cold drink sippin by the porch light got a
fresh pack and it's smellin so nice like
yeah, we're getting through life
clocked out and I'm headed home fast with the
windows down and the speakers on blastin'
A pretty woman sittin' by my side laughing,
yeah, we're getting through life
yeah, we're getting through life
28 and i still got years
Ain't gonna act like I never had fears
And on the rough road I shed a few tears like
Yeah (we gettin through life)
Every day i keep waking up stronger
Don't wanna leave this world no longer [I don't wanna be lost no longer?]
Got a lady and I'm cozied up on her
yeah, we're getting through life
yeah, we're doing alright

Cool rapid fire delivery of wonderful lyrics. Nice use of layered harmonies for the hook. Wonderful song. Great sentiment.
