Is There Actually A Difference Between “Living and Living Well?
The song “Living and Living Well” by George Strait taught us the difference between living and living well which is when you are with someone you love.
“You can’t have it all. All by yourself.” Some people love to live alone, however, the song says that you can’t have it all by yourself. You have to share your life with someone else so you can be complete. “Something’s always missing. ‘Til you share it with someone else.”
