Phosphorescent - Reasons To Quit (Willie Nelson cover)

This is the first song on my recent mixtape.  Beautiful version of the Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard tune.  Here are the hard livin’ lyrics…

reasons to quit
the smoke and beer don't do me like before
and i'm hardly ever sober
and my ole friends dont come round much any more
reasons to quit
the low is always lower than the high
and the reasons for quitting don't outnumber all the reasons why
chorus
so we keep smoking and we keep drinking
having fun and never thinking
laughing at the price tags the we pay
and we keep roaring down the fast lane
like two young men feeling no pain
and the reasons for quitting are getting bigger each day
reasons to quit
i cant afford the habit all the time
and i need be sober
i gotta write some new songs that will rhyme
reasons to quit
there ain't no rhyme or reason when your high
and the reasons for quitting dont outnumber all the reasons why
chorus
