I was born in Oklahoma in 1969
|
My daddy played the honky tonks
|
Out on the county line
|
One night he took me with him
|
Through those swingin' doors
|
And I heard that country music
|
Saw that crowded dance floor
|
Dad made fifty dollars
|
And I stayed up 'til three
|
And I thought
|
This is the life for me
|
|
By the time I turned fourteen
|
I was pickin' lead guitar
|
Everyday I went to school
|
And at night I played the bars
|
Two or three years later
|
I noticed something strange
|
All the looks that I was gettin'
|
From the girls began to change
|
I knew right then and there
|
What I was gonna be
|
This is the life for me
|
|
This is the life
|
The only one I want to know
|
Everyday another town
|
And every night another show
|
Ever since I was a boy
|
I've had this crazy dream
|
Now I know it was meant to be
|
This is the life
|
This is the life for me
|
|
Well I tried to go to college
|
Just to see if I was wrong
|
But that ain't the kind of knowledge
|
That helps you write a country song
|
I got my education on the wild side of life
|
Through a cloud of smoke so thick
|
That you could cut it with a knife
|
There was no doubt about it
|
As far as I could see
|
This is the life for me
|
|
This is the life
|
The only one I want to know
|
Everyday another town
|
And every night another show
|
Ever since I was a boy
|
I've had this crazy dream
|
Now I know it was meant to be
|
This is the life
|
This is the life for me
|
|
Yeah this is the life
|
This is the life for me.
