- I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song I'm gonna stand for right and I always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd, If I'm alone On the streets or in my home I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
Everyday, everywhere On a busy thoroughfare Folks may watch me; some may spot me Say I'm foolish But I don't care I can't sing one thing and then live another Be saint by day and a devil undercover I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
If at day, if at night I must always walk in the light Some mistake me; underrate me Because I want to do aright I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday I've got to live the life, I sing about in my song
