Verse 1:
I have slept on satin sheets
Dined with kings on wine so sweet
Made my bed out in the street
Living for a song
I spent a lifetime on the road
Like desperadoes chasing gold
I’ve been bought and I’ve been sold
Living for a song
[:: CHORUS ::]
Life’s so full of melodies
With words that rhyme and harmonies
‘Till I write mine I’ll always be
Living for a song
Spoken:
I came to town a long time ago
And it’s really been good to me as you all know
But all of us rhyme runners and word hunters
Have some things that we’ve been through
So I wrote this song hoping I could tell some of ‘em to you.
[:: VERSE 2 ::]
I have slept on life’s highway
Muddy tears staining my face
A rhyme or two was a big payday
Living for a song
Using words from my life line
Forsaking all just for a rhyme
Building steps I know I can’t climb
Living for a song
[:: CHORUS ::]
Life’s so full of melodies
With words that rhyme and harmonies
‘Till I write mine I’ll always be
Living for a song
‘Till I write mine, I’ll always be
Living for a song
