*********************LYRICS******************

“TRYING TO KEEP YOU ALIVE (Is Going To Be The Death Of Me”

VS:
Quarantined... Covid-19...
Walls are closing in on my wife, kids & me.
Pork & beans... Spam, Lots of Mac & Cheese.
Amazon and Jesus meet our needs
But trying to keep you alive is going to be the death of me.

CH:
If the roads weren’t closed they would drive a man to drink.
We’re almost out of soap
And one of us is starting to stink
My darlin’s hair is looking like Peppy LePew.
I’m gonna spray some Krylon on her roots.
It is as plain as it can be.
That trying to keep you alive is going to be the death of me.

VS:
Home school... We expelled two.
Toilet paper is running low
I hope no one has to go.
Lifetime movies... Cartoon Channel... Is all I see.
There's no sports, only HGTV
Yeah, trying to keep you alive is going to be the death of me.

CH:
If the roads weren’t closed they would drive a man to drink.
We just ran out of soap
And all of us are starting to stink
I think my darlin looks a lot like Peppy LePew.
I’m gonna spray some Krylon on those roots.
It is as plain as it can be.
That trying to keep you alive is going to be the death of me.

BR:
I’m trying to make sure...they don’t suffer
But I see fear in their eyes...
When Netflix buffers.

LAST CH:
My Honey was looking quite a bit like Peppy LePew
So I sprayed some Krylon on her roots.
She should be thankful, but is mad as she can be
Trying to keep you alive is gonna be the death of me.

Yeah, trying to keep you alive is going to be the death...of... me.
