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 Ive been bought and Ive been sold Living for a song Chorus: Lifes so full of melodies With words that rhyme and harmonies Till I write mine Ill always be Living for a song Spoken: I came to town a long time ago And its really been good to me as you all know But all of us rhyme runners and word hunters Have some things that weve been through So I wrote this song hoping I could tell some of em to you Verse 2: I have slept on lifes 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: Lifes so full of melodies With words that rhyme and harmonies Till I write mine Ill always be Living for a song Tag: Till I write mine, Ill always be Living for a song
