Livin' Off the Land lyrics

You have to be comfortable with yourself because that's all there is
There's you and nature
You think you got it all figured out, you know
The wilderness will figure some way to teach you a lesson
As I'm alone in the forest I'm in one with my surroundings
And there's a lot of peace in that solitude
I'll be a mountain man 'til the day I die
(Living off the land)
And I break my back
And I work all night
At times I do all their work too
It don't break my stride
I just keep moving forward
At times I wish there was two
So I have somebody else that could help me help you
I'll be damned, sometimes it's hard, the backed-up bills on the credit card
She keep on threatenin' to leave
If you don't get on your knees and repay the money you spent
But like her trust, you're gambling it
Sunday, you go to church
Back on your knees and you're tryna' soul search, singing
I'm just a man doing the best that I can
Saint or a sinner, the loser can be a winner with a plan
When you're living off the land
Why you waste what you ain't got
On that Power Ball
Has it not quite dawned on you, that don't work at all
See the easy thing to do
Is the hardest thing for you
You just open up yourself
So the truth could come through
I'll be damned, sometimes it's hard, the backed-up bills on the credit card
She keep on threatenin' to leave
If you don't get on your knees and repay the money you spent
But like her trust, you're gambling it
Sunday, you go to church
Back on your knees and you're tryna' soul search, singing
I'm just a man doing the best that I can
Saint or a sinner, the loser can be a winner with a plan
When you're living off the land
Living off the land
Living off the land
Living off the land
I'll be damned, sometimes it's hard, the backed-up bills on the credit card
She keep on threatenin' to leave
If you don't get on your knees and repay the money you spent
But like her trust, you're gambling it
Sunday, you go to church
Back on your knees and you're tryna' soul search, singing
I'm just a man doing the best that I can
Saint or a sinner, the loser can be a winner with a plan
When you're living off the land
Living off the land
Living off the land
I'm just a man doing the best that I can
Saint or a sinner, the loser can be a winner with a plan
When you're living off the land
If you just open yourself (If you just open yourself)
If you just open yourself (If you just open yourself)
If you just open yourself (If you just open yourself)
You'll see, you got what you need
When you're living off the land
