John Kay - Live Your Life lyrics



Words and Music by John Kay

I was raised in the ruins, mama, 'till I was thirteen

Every day I heard the radio

Every night I had the same old dream

To sing a song, oh, baby, to watch my name in lights

If you wanna see your dream come true

Honeychild, you gotta get right down and fight

Well I sailed cross the ocean, girl, I felt so all alone

Many times I thought about goin' right back home

But the Joy I found in song gave me the will to carry on

Live your life the way you want to

Don't let fools lead you astray

Live you dreams so you hold on to

All you need along the way

I was payin' my dues right here in the land of the free

All the time I learned to sing along

I could not speak and I could barely see

Still all the while I knew where I was at

But the people that believed in me

Lord, I could count them all in seconds flat

Well, someday I would be, I knew it all along

A gentleman of leisure, girl, right or wrong

And though my dream has come and gone

There's plenty more where those came from

Repeat Chorus
