"LIVE THE LIFE I LOVE"


Here I go again, singin’ in a bar
The smoke hangs so heavy, it’s hard to see the star
Its neon signs and two-steps, saw dust floors and cigarettes
Sinners, saints and old men, trying to forget

It started with a guitar, when I was only nine
An eight track in my Dad’s pick-up, with 14 Carrot Mind
Now I’m singin’ for a livin’, Lord knows how hard I’ve tried
There ain’t much recognition, and not much room for pride

CHORUES
Some folks barley listen, and some folks stay all night
Some don’t even know my name, or look me in the eye
It’s all I’ve ever wanted, and I’ll never give it up
Play some more Gene Watson, and live the life I love

Waitress says, "Its last call… drink one more and go on home"
Someone sends up a napkin, "Please play "Chisled in Stone"
For once the place falls silent, I play every note just right
I’ve finally been discovered, until tomorrow night

MODIFIED CHORUS
Some folks sit and listen, and some folks buy me beer
Some think I’ll be famous, and some folks just don’t care
And it’s not the "Grand Ol’ Opry", but I’ll never give it up
Play some more Vern Gosden, and live the life the life I love

Yea, Play’em one more Willie, and live the life I love
