Lyrics: Strange Way To Live

when I'm gone I'm on the phone
wishing I was back home
wanna be by your side
wanna get off this ride

when I'm home can't enjoy
simple things family life
mind is off somewhere else
like I'm all by myself

think about what I need
to work on to succeed
little kids time flies
come on man prioritize...

it's a strange way to live...
it's a strange way to live

what makes us satisfied
if I told you then I lied
more like Jesus less like me
it's the only way that I see

don't hurt me when you say
"you guys suck, get off the stage"
keep on going, maybe not
keep on going, maybe not

alcohol whoop it up
temporary band-aid
later peel the bandage off
another layer of yourself

it's a strange way to live...
it's a strange way to live

and I don't mind the work
and I don't mind the time
I don't mind the pain
I just mind being away

friend told me deep in prayer
got a glimpse and he shared,
the treasures of this life
just do not compare

driving around in Seattle
every kid looked like he'd been in a battle
so much sadness
sadness all the time

to that kid at the Barn
it's my fault I caused harm
we can bury the hatchet
and not each other's head

it's a strange way to live...
it's a strange way to live

and I don't mind the work
and I don't mind the time
I don't mind the pain
I just mind being away
