Let's Think About Livin'

In every other song that I've heard lately some fellow get shot

And his baby and his best friend both died with him as likely as nut

In half of the other songs some cat's cryin' are ready to die

We've lost most all of our happy people and I'm a wonderin' why

Let's think about livin' let's think about lovin'

Let's think about hoopin' and a hopin' and a poppin' and a lovey dovey dovin'

Let's forget about a whinnin' and a cryin' and a shootin' and a dyin'

And a fellow with a switchblade knife

Let's think about livin' let's think about life

Well we lost ol' Marty Robbins back in El Paso a little while back

And now Miss Mary John or one of them girls they're wearin' black

Cathy's Clown's got Don and Phil so lonesome they could die

If we keep on losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy

Let's think about livin'...

Let's think about livin'...

Let's think about livin' let's think about life
