I've tried livin' it risky,
  Relyin' on women and whiskey,
  To chase my blues, turned my nights to day.
  
  First rage, only a pastime,
  With age, more then a lifetime,
  Day in, day out the world just turns away.
  
  But everybody knows you live and you learn.
  But the lessons just go on and on.
  I guess were gonna have to wait for all the pages to turn.
  To find out if it's right or if it's wrong:
  You live and learn.
  
  I've stopped looking for questions,
  I've got only suggestions:
  Black and white can only turn to gray.
  
  In time were all gonna find out,
  Our times all gonna wind out,
  An' just count down until that Judgement Day.
  
  But everybody knows you live and you learn.
  But the lessons just go on and on and on.
  I guess were gonna have to wait for all the pages to turn.
  To find out if it's right or if it's wrong:
  You live and learn.
  
  You live and learn.
