Lyrics I Can't Go On That Way - Johnny Cash

Life was a ball of alcohol
And pills and blues and gals
And every hung over mornin
Was an unheeded warnin
That I shared with my lost pals
And the music flowed
And my chosen road grew wider everyday
Till the highs got low and the will said no
I cant go on that way
Cant go that way, cant go that way
Yes, the highs got low and the will said no
I cant go on that way
Sugar is sweet and good prime meat
Is so hard to come by
Saccharine is round again
But today its do or die
My babys is home where I belong
And this is still my day
I am hangin on and I am comin on strong
And I cant go on that way
Cant go that way, cant go that way
Im still hangin on and comin on strong
And I cant go on that way
Up is down and next time around
I aint goin round again
When it comes my time, Im gonna stop at the line
And forget where Ive been
Who was it said that alive is dead
And night to some is day
Just let her go and let a new wind blow
Cause I can go on that way
