Hello there, my old friend,not so long ago it was 'till the endWe played outside in the pouring rain,on our way up the road we started over againYou're livin' a dream, wo you on topMy mind is achin', Lord it won't stopThat's how it happens, livin' life by the dropUp and down that road in our worn out shoes,talkin' 'bout good things and signin' the bluesYou went your way, I stayed behindWe both knew it was just a matter of timeYou're livin' a dream, wo you on topMy mind is achin', Lord it won't stopThat's how it happens, livin' life by the dropNo wasted time, we're alive todayChurnin' up the past, there's no easier wayTime's been between us, a means to an endGod it's good to be here walkin' together my friendYou're livin' a dream, wo you on topMy mind is achin', Lord it won't stopThat's how it happens, livin' life by the dropThat's how it happens, livin' life by the dropThat's how it happens, livin' life by the dropas u can tell music is a big influence on my life. so is recovery from addiction and what better way to honor my musical interest and celebrate my recovery than to submit the lyrics to "life by the drop" by stevie ray vaughn, my musical hero. not only was stevie an amazing guitarist and musician, he was also a recovering addict. stevie won the battle against addiction and is now in eternal peace and serenity in his heavenly home but his music lives on forever in the hearts of the ones who love him.
