I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right, always shun the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, walking down the streets, in my home
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right, always shun the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, walking down the streets, in my home
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
Everyday and everywhere, on the busy thoroughfare
Folks may watch me, some may spot me, say I'm foolish but I don't care
I can't go to church, shout all day, Sunday
Go out and get drunk and raise sand on a Monday
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
Yes, I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right and always shunning the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, walking down the streets, in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
