Many men have self-affliction, very few know inspiration
I was in the former class, I’d seen how love had beat my ass
Then I looked what life would be like, I saw what lied ahead of me
And I knew I’d have to change if I would last

A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like
I’d be broken hearted till I’d dedicate my life
To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I’ve had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times

Through the years I’ve seen some hard times, truth be told I’ve lived a good life
Always with a friend around, breaking bread or laying down
But the years brought resignation, through the lens of indignation
I had seen enough to leave behind

A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like
I’d be broken hearted till I dedicate my life
To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I’ve had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times.

A lust for life is one I never could deny it seemed like
I’d be broken hearted till I dedicate my life
To working days and sleeping nights
And doing what I’ve had to do
To keep my mind from reeling and my heart from wanting you
As the sun sets through the western sky I toast my glass of wine
And say we had the best of times-
Lord we had the best of times.
