  • I can barely raise my head off the pillow
    Some days, I never get out of bed
    I start out with the best of intentions
    And then shuck it instead

    I don't think we'll get back how we use to
    No use in tryin' to measure the loss
    We better start gettin' used to it
    And damn the cost

    Go ahead and ask me
    How I make it through
    Only way I know is

    Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Livin' for the ones

    I'm livin' for the ones who didn't make it
    Cut down through no fault of their own
    Just keep 'em in mind, all the chances denied
    If you ever start to bitch and moan

    Just remember the ones who won't ever
    Feel the sun on their faces again
    Watch their grandkids collide, let it break you inside
    Maybe this'll be the way you mend

    Go ahead and ask me
    How I make it through
    Only way I know is

    Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
    Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Writer/s: Bonnie Raitt, George Marinelli
