john kay - live your life lyrics
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
