What is life without vices, bad habits and having fun.

lyrics

Everything I Like is Killing Me
By Howard Levinson

I like to drink a few beers with a whiskey back, I like to smoke those funny cigarettes
I’ll even take a few pills to be happy you see
Everything I like is killing me.
I like to put a pinch between my cheek and gum and smoke a fat cigar when the day is done
The warning label of the stuff is plain to see
Everything I like is Killing me

I probably won’t live to a ripe old age; they say I’ll put myself in an early grave
I doubt if I’ll make it to my forties
Cause everything I like is killing me.

I like steak and eggs with a side of fries, I top it off with a piece of pecan pie
I love the kick from a glass of Georgia sweet tea
Everything I like is killing me
I love to play poker and a little blackjack, I lost my house and my Cadillac
I put my last dollar on a losing team
Everything I like is killing me.

I probably won’t live to a ripe old age; they say I’ll put myself in an early grave
I doubt if I’ll make it to my forties
Cause everything I like is killing me.

I ride my Harley all over the place, I like the wind blowing in my hair and in my face
Crashed and woke up in Emergency
Everything I like is killing me
My best girl she’s a roller derby queen, when she’s had a few she gets kinda mean
She broke my tooth and bruised my spleen
Everything I like is killing me

There’s one thing that I know for sure, when I die and knock on Heaven’s door
Saint Peters gonna ask what happened to me
I’ll tell him everything I liked, everything I liked, everything I liked
Well it killed me, yea it killed me, yea it killed me.
