- 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,
Until I write mine, I ll always be, living for a song.
- Verse 2 (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 them to you.
- Verse 3 (Sung)
I have slept on life s highway, muddy tears painting my face,
A rhyme or two was a big payday, living for a song.
Using words for my lifeline, 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,
Until I write mine, I ll always be, living for a song.
Til I write mine, I ll always be, living for a song.
