(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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Live Your Life
