Back in the days of the 33 and 45
|
First time I remember feelin' alive
|
Playin' like a'ringin' a bell 'n' I learned it off the radio
|
Sure it was only mama's broom but I was strummin' like a fool
|
A true believer till the day I die
|
If you'd a plugged me in, in front of all my friends
|
I would'a set the livin' room on fire
|
|
I was alive
|
Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
Like a time bomb tickin'
|
Headed for the Hullaballoo
|
There were no big gigs in sight
|
No bright white-hot spotlight
|
But everybody knew that I was Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
|
Got in a battle of the bands when I stole my big brother's guitar
|
Let me tell you, that'll never get you far
|
2000 Overnights later 'n' I'm still not on the radio
|
|
Got a new Best Friend
|
He was more than Sittin' In
|
'N' we were makin' our mark on the road
|
Our regalia'd hit Full Sail
|
'N' we were trapped into the Mother Lode
|
|
We was alive
|
Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
Like a time-bomb tickin'
|
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
|
As far as we could see
|
It was the way it was meant to be
|
The whole world knew that we was
|
Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
|
It's been miles 'n' miles
|
Still Alive
|
And pickin'
|
|
Now I'm in the daze of the downloadin' digital fights
|
Bit by bit, byte by byte
|
But everybody says it's music 'cause they hear it on the radio
|
|
'N' when I hit the stage I'm gonna rattle your cage
|
I still remember how to howl at the moon
|
And I can carry the load whether I'm on the road
|
Or jus' appearing in my living room
|
|
'Cause I am alive
|
Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
Like a time-bomb tickin'
|
This boy's ready to blow
|
|
Don't need to tell you why
|
I'm gonna love to do it 'til the day I die
|
Everybody's gonna know that I
|
Am Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
|
We been rockin' since '73
|
And just between you 'n' me
|
You better believe that we
|
Are alive
|
Alive 'n' Kickin'
|
