lyrics

Growin' up a little boy, I would love to run and play
Runnin' to the corner store, greet the puppy on my way
Honeysuckle in the neighbor's yard still so vivid in my mind
I'd no idea of all the dreams I'd leave behind
I'd no idea of all the dreams I'd leave behind

Chorus:
So give me one more laugh, give me one more tear...
Give me one more romantic kiss, and give me one more beer...
For, the next leg of my journey I am ready to begin, 'cause it ain't the death and dyin' does you in...no it ain't the death and dyin' does you in.

Lookin' back, a younger man, I had it all figured out
I'd make it big and strike it rich, it seemed to me there was no doubt
A wife and kids dependin' on every penny of my pay
but the Lord, he took my valentine away...
There was no reason for this broken man to play.

Chorus:
So give me one more laugh, give me one more tear...
Give me one more romantic kiss, and give me one more beer...
For, the next leg of my journey I am ready to begin, 'cause it ain't the death and dyin' does you in...no it ain't the death and dyin' does you in.

I've lived a lot of love, and I've loved a lot of life
Tears have flowed and laughter echoed down a highway paved with strife
A wiser man that I've become as I sit here old and grey...
I wouldn't have it any other way...
No I wouldn't live it any other way.

Chorus:
So give me one last laugh, give me one last tear...
Give me one last romantic kiss, and give me one last beer...
For, the next leg of my journey I am ready to begin, 'cause it ain't the death and dyin' does you in...no it ain't the death and dyin' does you in.
