Getting Closer

I'm getting closer I'm getting closer every day While I'm getting older And getting over what I was today I'm getting closer I'm getting closer to my dying day God help me sober I'm getting over what I was yesterday Too many years I spent Every day in the struggle, yeah I wish I could feel what could be a normal life with a house and a wife But that just ain't me, no Gotta get by doing my time doing things I love with the ones I trust Who told you to fall in love and to fall in line, that you're out of time There's more than "the meaning of life" There's a meaning of mine and that's just fine Be bolder, soldier clear your shoulders That's no way to live You will regret it by when you're all said and done with it I'm getting closer I'm getting closer every day While I'm getting older And getting over what I was today I'm getting closer I'm getting closer to my dying day God help me sober I'm getting over what I was yesterday I'm getting closer I'm getting closer every day While I'm getting older And getting over what I was today
