|
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song |
|
I'm gonna stand for right and I always shun the wrong |
|
If I'm in the crowd, if I'm alone |
|
On the streets or in my home |
|
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song |
|
Everyday, everywhere |
|
On a busy thoroughfare |
|
Folks may watch me, some may spot me |
|
Say I'm foolish, but I don't care |
|
I can't sing one thing and then live another |
|
Be saint by day and a devil undercover |
|
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song |
|
If at day, if at night |
|
I must always walk in the light |
|
Some mistake me, underrate me |
|
Because I want to do right |
|
I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday |
|
Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday |
|
I've got to live the life, I sing about in my song |
