Do a Little Damage

Doctor told me I should take it easy

Mama said that I should slow down

Woman threatened she was gonna leave me

At least the whiskey's sticking around

So get busy livin' or get busy dyin'

'Cause if you're livin' for tomorrow, you ain't tryin'

It's called a liver for reason

While I'm livin' and I'm breathin'

Gonna do a little damage tonight

Ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Doctor sent me home with a prescription

Thirty days, I couldn't drink a drop

But Daddy, no, he didn't raise a quitter

So line me up another couple shots, come on

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'

'Cause if you're livin' for tomorrow, you ain't tryin'

It's called a liver for reason

While I'm livin' and I'm breathin'

Gonna do a little damage tonight

Ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Hell, people love to tell me their opinions

But this devil on my shoulder's makin' sense

And when I'm standing at the gates of my religion

I'd rather sit on this side of the fence

No, they don't teach it, but I'm testifying

'Cause even Jesus traded water in for wine

It's called a liver for reason

While I'm livin' and I'm breathin'

Gonna do a little damage tonight

Hey, get busy livin', or get busy dyin'

'Cause if you're livin' for tomorrow, you ain't tryin'

It's called a liver for reason

While I'm livin' and I'm breathin'

Gonna do a little damage tonight (Hey, hey)

Ooh (Hey, yeah, oh)

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

It's called a liver for reason

While I'm livin' and I'm breathin'

Gonna do a little damage tonight
