Live Your Life Lyrics - 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

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
