Longer Than You've Been Alive Lyrics

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
