Otis Clay - Trying To Live My Life Without You

I used to smoke five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
I drank four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass in my hand all the time

Breakin' those habits
Was hard to do
But nothin' compared to the changes
That you put me through

Tryin' to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It was the hardest burden I'll ever bear

I had the worst reputation in around
For chasing all the women town
I thought changin' my way of living was hard to do
But the worst habit to break babe
Was loving you
I've done everything I tried to do
But it's gonna take a miracle to get me over you

Tryin' to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear
You might also likeTryin' to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear

"Trying to Live My Life Without You" (or "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You") is a song written by American musician Larry Williams and originally popularized by American soul singer Otis Clay. In early 1973, Clay's recording reached #102 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart. It has since been covered by several other artists. In his book "The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made", music critic Dave Marsh called Eagles song "The Long Run" a complete ripoff of the song.
