The Life You Chose (Live)

Who are you if not the one I met

One July night before the town went wet?

Jack and Coke in your mama's car

You were reading The Bell Jar

Where are you if you're not on your own?

You're always lonely, never quite alone

Where's the Jesus that you swore you'd find

After running the last line?

Are you living the life you chose?

Are you living the life that chose you?

Are you taking the grown up dose?

Do you live with a man who knows you?

Like I thought I did back then

Uh, but I guess I never did

Did I kid?

I got lucky when I finished school

Lost three fingers to a faulty tool

Settled out of court, I'm no one's fool

You probably knew

There's plenty left to make a getaway

Who spent enough nights in the Bluegrass State

Could go somewhere where people stay up late

Or just somewhere new

Are you living the life you chose?

Are you living the life that chose you?

Are you taking the grown up dose?

Do you live with a man who knows you?

Like I thought I did back then

Oh, but I guess I never did

Did I kid?

Here I am, inviting you to throw your life away

A victim of nostalgia, maybe Tanqueray

Just tonight, I realized I am still in your backseat

Nothing I've had since has meant a thing to me

Are you living the life you chose?

Are you living the life that chose you?

Are you taking the grown up dose?

Do you live with a man who knows you?

Like I thought I did back then

Ah, but I guess I never did

Did I kid?

Thank you, thank you
