Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Eric Church has revealed another glimpse at the breadth of music to come through his new song, “Doing Life With Me”! Written by the star alongside Casey Beathard and Jeffrey Steele, the reflective track sees Church expressing gratitude for those by his side through the journey of a musical career. Check out the lyric video below!
“Doing Life With Me” Lyric Video
Like the recent releases before it, “Doing Life With Me” is the result of a marathon writing session Church spent sequestered in a rural North Carolina cabin where he wrote and recorded a song from start to finish each day for nearly a month. The new music follows Church’s most recent critically acclaimed album, 2018’s Desperate Man.
“Doing Life With Me” Lyrics
It ain’t easy putting up with
A road dog with a cup with
A little Jack in it
You talk about the backseat
I don’t know, don’t ask me
How she sat in it
She carried my burdens and paid my bail
Put a Tennessee breeze in my Carolina sail
And set me free
I don’t pray much anymore
For this old troubadour’s
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
Coulda easily said goodbye to
This runaway train you’re tied to
I know I don’t get it
Baby how you roll with it
The fists and the fights and the scars of the battle
The ups and the downs of the judges gavel
How’d you wind up in my unravel?
I don’t pray much anymore
For this old troubadour’s
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
You’re my faith in the grace every sunrise brings
Set me free
I don’t pray much anymore
For this old troubadour’s
Happiness, wishes, wants, and needs
End of my ropes, hopes and dreams
Spend my living giving thanks
For the ships I never sank
Every big, every little in the every day things
The notes and the words and the songs I sing
To the ones doing life with me
